Shirley Temple USA


Courageous curls baby face
Too cute to control or contain
Charmed heroes and queens
Foiled foes and the mean
Girls
Whom she served

Cinderella with dreams
A tap dance machine
In class ridden old London
Antebellum 
And the orphanage of the world 

Who will we turn to 
For childhood lost
Long after the Good Ship Lollipop
Has sailed?

Don Arrup
