The Twelve Step Process

I over heard Momma Bear telling Papa Bear to get a better job,
You remember him from the Goldilocks fame, yessiree-bob.
Our Trolls in Mayham Falls, in the quest, he came across,
And in my experience this could be his complete loss.

He asked for their help, and I have found this very clear,
That having Trolls on the Internet is something to fear.
He explained to the Trolls he would like his space,
So the Trolls understood?, and will give him a place.

At B-Air Aerospace Company, a position they did find, 
Papa Bear was overjoyed and told them they were kind.
The Trolls were told that it would be a twelve step process,
Papa Bear was used to some hoops, no problem, more-or-less.

Step one, can he handle subjects that are quite hairy?
Papa answered that he knows, Shemp, Moe and Larry.
Step two, the company required, for background, a resume CDV,
The Trolls gave, understandably, a very funny DVD.

Step three, what it would be or if he knows, if he had a weakness,
Papa said, it was a long story, but he cannot run in The Preakness.
And so it went, questions and answers, he flew through each hoop,
Towards the end, he indicated, it was like eating a giant fruit loop.

The Trolls were happy, helping Papa Bear from a job drought,
So Papa Bear ended up getting his space, as B-Air’s Astronaut.
Momma Bear was elated, and wanted to throw a party, she decided,
All from Mayham Falls, Trolls, Dragon, even Goldilocks, were invited.

Written by Hubby, after woofy-poo encouraged him to write this story. 
Actually, she laughed so hard that he had to buy her an ice cream to quiet her.

AMAZING!!! Do you talk to each other in rhyme??? When you go out shopping, do you say to the cashier, "How much do we owe you? Your sure have a nice doo! And that uniform is spiffy, though your makeup's a bit iffy! But all in all you're a pretty young thing, but I would suggest you ditch the nose ring!!! Just saying... Santa xxx
