Editorial note: When we wrote our story comparing our Child Star, “Shirley T”, to Shirley Temple yesterday morning, we did not know the extent of our psychicity, and that we were about to lose the latter. We acknowledge that our rap of “On Da Good Ship Lollipop” was not an appropriate send-off, and we now propose to give Shirley Temple the tribute she deserves – straight from the heart of Perthville’s Child Star.

“Shirley, as a child I looked up to you, and as a child, I still do. In a world where child stars like Miley Cyrus blur the lines so much, your curled ringlets straightened everything out.”

The Child Star has gone up to Ringer’s Ruins to pay her respects to the girl after whom she was named.
