1932 Was Hard Times For Everyone
November 18th, 1932, Lincoln, Nebraska, main street
fancy pretty new toys are in Jasper’s storefront window
Betty points to a baby doll she would like for Christmas
she does not expect to get it
times have been hard for everyone
she is four and she knows not to get her hopes up
she is tired of being disappointed
she keeps this wish in the back of her mind
in her stocking this year there is an orange
it is more than enough
times have been hard for everyone
