she had a box of electric crayons

and the pictures she created

subway scenes and supermarkets

can' t be overestimated

she had a box of electric crayons

and her talent never faded

her painting of a plastic future

was like a flash when it invaded

sweet tender girl with her sharpened crayons

obsessed observer in her city

she cut her way through the neon jungle

i like to call her tiger kitty

each crayon was dynamite

the explosion so shrill and bright

modern girl in a modern world

a brave heart in a curly girl
