Decorated dancing bear for five year olds
Staged premiere audition
One smallest ballerina features capered recognition
Excited, spirit bubbling, her Dad knows her role
Pretending to be a make-believe, golden oriole
Slim legs lace hose of tan, trimmed body feathered things
Closed curtain splits! Mom proudly sits
As her daughter’s dainty feet grown visionary wings!
