Pop culture always needs a fresh face
In search of the next young and nubile starlet
Most of them disappear without a trace
Enter flawlessly beautiful model and cover girl
Breaking hearts she quickly outgrew the small screen
Hollywood groomed its newest cultured pearl
Safer than Lolita but just as complicated
A Steve McQueen film and a breakout part
The dream factory aimed her for stardom
But fame and fan mags aren’t really art
She’s Tuesday Wednesday in Flintstone lore
No longer an ingenue she shifted gears
To be an actress in serious roles now
Stardom is fleeting and costly in years
She gradually slipped away from view
But I can still recollect her familiar voice
The flavor of the month is yesterday’s taste
Tuesday Weld is still a baby boomer’s choice
When life was innocent and the future stellar
A time of best and brightest, young and perfect
Those days are past and stored in the cellar
Her name triggers time travel back to Dobie
As our lives are firmly planted in December
I’m not ashamed to reminisce about Thalia
Tuesday Wednesday is a perfect time to remember
Ticket 2 Ride 
One thought on “Tuesday Weld”
