Shirley Temple Curls

 

Sad times
Depression era
Lightened by Hollywood films
Films of a child star
Dimpled child star
Dimpled child star with bouncing curls.
Momma’s child
Mousey brown hair 
Hot curling iron or
Sugared water strips
Made Shirley temple curls.
Catskill hotel needed a child star
Saturday night Jewish show
Momma’s little girl in
Ruffled peach colored dress
Shirley Temple curls.
Sound of gunshot off stage
The father carries 
Little child on stage
Aundzer kind iz toyt
Curtain, applause,
Momma’s child bows 
Bouncing her Shirley Temple Curls.
