When I think of Curly tops from days gone by, I can't help but think of the sweet, cherubic face of Shirley Temple. What little girl didn't want those wonderful curls bouncing down around her ears at one time...at least during what I call the 'Princess Years', between the ages of 5 and 6 and a half. A short window to be sure. I have a great pic of myself around that very age getting all dolled up for my very first day of Kindergarden, my hair all set in pin curls. I asked my mother to scan the photo for me so I can post it here.
There was a little girl
who had a little curl
right in the middle of
her forehead,
and when she was good
she was very, very good
and when she was bad,
she was horrid.
