If Goldilocks was a Refugee
Once upon a time
In a land far away
lived a girl named Goldilocks
looking for a safe place to stay
she walked through deserts and forests
through rain and through snow
and decided that America is where she would go
she came across the vast, and victorious land
searching for nothing, but a simple helping hand
she soon came across a vacant looking home
she walked in and realized that she was alone
on the table inside sat three bowls of something icky
but the girl was awfully hungry and decided not to be picky
"the first one is just right," she thought after trying the food
now she just needed a bed so she could have a quick snooze
she saw three beds in the corner, all different sizes
so Goldilocks chose the one that she would fit in the nicest
while she was sleeping, all snug in the bed
the owners of the home walked in, and to her they said
"GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM" in a very loud manner
the girl awoke with a panic to see what was the matter
but Goldilocks, being from another place
didn't speak great English, and didn't know what to say
with guns on their hips, the men waited for something to be said
but instead, Goldilocks just smiled and went back to bed
