The Rest of Goldilocks

Goldilocks was found lying in bed
at a house she broke into
they say she jumped out the window-
her fear of the bears was so great

but I know Goldilocks- 
she was my best friend in middle school
and my next-door neighbor.

I offered her oatmeal- she fainted
I invited her for a sleepover- she screamed
we went to the zoo- she ran home

But when we saw three bears walking in the woods, 
she calmly walked up to them 
and invited them for dinner.

I lost my best friend that night
for her only friend now is a bear.
