The Goldilocks Goblin
Out in the woods one day
a family of bears went out to play
Later a girl went for a walk
with little in her basket but string and chalk
Accept she wasn't just any girl you see
she became a ghastly goblin at 2:03
While in the woods she wore a pout
until she found the perfect house and let out a shout
She strutted right into the home
and looked at all they had right down to their combs
Then she looked at the clock
and knew this place was worth all the talk
At 2:03 she put a mask over her face
and put gloves on so there wouldn't be a trace
Then all about the house ran the child
stealing all keepsakes going completely wild
In the mix of her out burst
she fell on a chair head first
Afterward the girl became hungry
and found some pooridge to stop her worry
The whole experience was rather energy-zapping
so she decided to retire on the smallest bed for napping
What happened next she never expected
it was the reason she so quickly exited
