Gershon Wolf Poet Clerihew

Cute-As-Could-Be Child Star

Shirley Temple, cute-as-could-be child star
Raised to new heights film's song-and-dance bar
   
   First melted our hearts on 'The Good Ship Lollipop'
   Then as Miss America and our UN Ambassador, she was tops

Panagiota Romios July 7, 2019 at 5:37 PM I am with you on Ms Shirley. Maintained her sanity amidst the insanity called Hollywood Pannagiota Gershon Wolf July 7, 2019 at 7:32 PM Important point you've made here. S. Temple was one of the few who has managed to keep a level head in the bubble that is fame and fortune. Thanks. ~ gw
