The House of Goldilocks


Once upon a time, there were three bears

Who were wandering through a forest and chanced upon a house

Whose door was left open wide.

The smell of honey drifted through the door,

And hungry bellies pulled the three bears in

Into the hallway and into the kitchen

Where a large bowl of honey sat.

In front of the honey was a chair,

And with only one chair and three bears,

The bears had to share.

So there the bears remained,

Each taking their portion of honey.

After the honey, as is often said,

The bears were ready for their afternoon nap.

Up the stairs they went and found but one bed

And so the bears had to share.

Soon a girl named Goldilocks,

Who was young and kind,

Walked into the house and into the kitchen

And upon seeing the empty bowl,

Went up the stairs and into her room,

Only to see three bears sleeping soundly on her bed.

Instead of waking them as most would do,

Goldilocks allowed them so sleep

And when they woke, she offered to share her home,

And as she was lonely and the bears in need of a home,

There was no need for either side to complain.

And so they lived as great friends,

Happily ever after in the house in the forest.
