Golden Porridge
Karyn Indursky
July 2012

Walking down granite roads
was Goldie Locks
trying to give her bear cubs
their porridge.

The porridge was ready
for the first bear,
but his seat broke.
Too many tastyKakes!

At the second seat
sat the porridge, but
the seat was rickety
and broke when he sat.

Lastly, there was a bowl of porridge
sitting at a table, but baby bear
didn't like it and threw it out the door.

Goldie Locks was mad!
She had cooked, slaved,
and served their meal.

She took the broken seats
and turned them into wooden
tables with chairs.

Having stolen the Fairy Godmother's wand,
she made the cubs into
princess dolls.

Momma bear was furious!
No one turned her cubs into dolls
and destroyed her porridge.

She pulled Goldie Locks
by her long, thick, locks
and changed her into...

HoT DeLiCiOuS Porridge.
