Ode' to Auntie Em ...



I overheard Mommy talking today about Auntie Em. She said "Auntie Em is really stressed out lately" about all sorts of stuff. So, since songs always make me happy, I thought I would write one for her ...

I call it "The Best Auntie Em in the Whole Wide World" and it's sung to a tune that goes something like this ... Baa La da Duh, La da Duh, La da, Bom Bom Bom.


The Best Auntie Em in the Whole Wide World

You are the best auntie a girl could ever want ...
You are the best auntie I would ever want ...
You are loud and really tall, and I love it when you carry me all day long ...
You are the best auntie a girl could ever want ....


Even if you live so very far away ...
In my heart you shall always stay ...
On the phone when you call, I hear your voice then recall ...
You are the best auntie a girl could ever want ....


I can't wait till I get to see you yet again ...
We'll have so much fun like before, but yet again ...
We can talk, laugh, and play, the days will waste away ...
You are the best auntie a girl could ever want ....


I can't wait to do fun stuff with just you ...
What kind of stuff can I do that I'm not suppose to? ...
I want to do it all, Daddy says "Just no tattoo" ...
You are the best auntie a girl could ever want ....


Someday I'll visit "The Big Apple" to come see you ...
We can ride the subways and I promise to hold your hand ...
And no I won't run away, like you did when you were my age ...
You are the best auntie a girl could ever want ....


You are the best auntie a girl could ever want ...
You are the best auntie I would ever want ...
You are loud and really tall, and I love it when you carry me all day long ...
You are the best auntie a girl could ever want ....


Hope that makes it all better, Auntie Em.

Hi Avery

I hope the picture that accompanied your song for Auntie Em is a smile--its hard to really make out. I am sure your Auntie Em was happy to read your song and it has made her feel better knowing that you love her so much and miss her. However, if I were you I would not give up my day job to become a song writer just yet. It needs more practice. (Great gramdmas know best).

Write again soon.
Love
