Premium Member Shiela and Shirley
Shiela shrugs her shivering shoulders, Shows she’s shunning her short shower; Shy she is, but so shocking for Shirley to see Shouting at her, “I should swim in the sea!” Shirley’s shrill sound says, “No shampoo?” Shoes off and shades on, sisters should go… Sheila and Shirley swim swiftly side by side Shouting, “Salty and spooky are the sea tides!” Shirley and Shiela...

Premium Member shirley versus stern face
Shirley sallied forth with another amusing quip Does she never take life seriously? Asked stern face I chose to ignore him, preferring Shirley every day She is always joking, stern face said to another woman. She did not reply either. Shirley enters the lunchroom with fairy dust and magic sparkles Stern Face brings in gravel and disgust....

Shirley Is A Country Queen'
(Verse 1) Well, there's a girl named Shirley, she's the light of my life, She's got a heart of gold and a spirit so bright. With a smile that'll melt ya, and a laugh that'll lift ya, She's the kind you wanna keep around all night. (Chorus) Shirley's got the love of God, a truck that can roll, A family that's solid,...

Premium Member Remembering Shirley Temple
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, What a charming kid you are. Across the silver screen you prance, Though you can't act, or sing, or dance, But for six whole years Your precious cuteness had no par. You were tons of fun with curly hair, And miles and miles of sunny smiles, But I surmise, Miss Shirley Temple, That movie history critics say Your most conspicuous talent...

Why Do You Shake When Around Me
In your presence, a trembling dance unfolds, Why do you shake, a mystery untold? Each moment shared, a delicate quake, Like dropped perfume, memories break. At my mom's farewell, a somber day, Our worlds collided in an unusual way. Others observed, a subtle connection, In shared grief, a silent reflection. Amidst the whispers, a lingering desire, Yet, your silence fans love's quiet fire. Why won't...

Merry Christmas Uncle DeVoe And Aunt Shirley
In a humble home, where love takes its stand, Uncle Devoe and Aunt Shirley, a diligent band. Hardworking spirits, like a flame that won't tire, Kindness and warmth, they generously inspire. Aiding thousands with grace, their hearts pure and true, Selfless endeavors, like morning's dew. Though time keeps us distant, and miles intervene, Missed moments weigh heavy, like a forgotten dream. In the...

Premium Member Shirley Sees Northern Lights
Shirley had always dreamed of seeing the Aurora Borealis. One night she was awakened by a giant polar bear named Alice. I am taking you to Norway, to see the northern lights, she said. Shirley was taken swiftly across the ice in some large sled. The lights were better than she could have imagined with her mind. Thank you Alice,...
