Forums
Shirley Temple Girl Why don't you sleep,little princess?Why don't you gently closeyour Shirley Temple eyes,and drift,little darling? Morning,noon,dinner,and nightyou arewithout equal.Oh, to be young,to beadored again. What words would you chooseif you decided to speak?Your simple phrasestickle my ears. My honey,my Shirley Temple girl.You climb the stairsI once crawled.My flower,my sack of pterodactyls;how does a human beinggrow so quickly? Mark Wilson Post Script And when you grow oldermay you fill out your skin.And when you grow up,may you always be wise.
