Goldilocks and the Free Beers

The cabin was stood there, its door was ajar
The owners were out but they couldn’t be far
She was so thirsty she needed a drink
Did she wait outside... well what do you think

She pushed on the door, ‘Is there anyone there’
I’m just a wee girl who has long golden hair
She thought to herself there is nobody here
But there on the table three glasses of beer

She stood there a while her hands on her hips
That beer looked refreshing and she licked her lips
One glass was small, it was gone in two sips
Another so big it had double hand grips

She couldn’t resist it she drank that as well
Then eyeballed the middle one, oh, what the hell
A medium glass which was just as well 
For she felt her bladder was starting to swell 

She went to the loo she was now feeling rough
She heard a door creak and a voice that was gruff
She knew what came next, it was more than a hunch
She knew there was no such thing as a free lunch

And so pretty soon she was pinned to the floor
And paid for the drinks, perhaps a few more
But ‘loving’ for beer? She wished she was dead
And then the big glass fell right on his head

He let out a groan and was totally zonked
A lump on his head from where he’d been bonked
She needed some help, there was no-one about
But Goldilocks belched... and then she passed out

The front door swung open and three bears stood there
What the heck’s going on asked a shocked Mummy bear
Daddy bear grumbled, both confused and mad
And Baby bear said... Who’s under grandad

Thank you Belle. As soon as I thought of beers instead of bears I was up and running. Sometimes, you just know a poems going well before you even start writing. Terry

Thanks Tom, I’d love to do something along those lines but I never seem to get off the starting block. It’s said to be simple, I find it a bit complex... maybe it’s me that's simple. Terry

Thanks, Milt. I seem to have slipped into fairy tale mode. I won’t tell you what I’m thinking about Pinocchio. Glad you liked this so much. Terry

Thanks, Jan. A surprisingly quick write. Until the last verse. Spent ages trying to get a rhyme that flowed well with ‘granddad’. Glad you liked it, liked it, liked it ;-) Terry
