Too hot…..
too cold….
somtimes things just aren’t right.
A poem.

Grizzly perched upon his chair

wouldn’t trust Goldilocks anywhere

Out of my sight?

What might she do?

(He liked a drink,

and violence too.)

So when he thought

she might be cheating

he brought the pack

to do some beating.

Throughout the night

the bear did roar

‘you are too cold’

and too, ‘a whore!’

The next bear

Found Goldi in bed

and mauled her for his fun

not wanting her to get too close

he went upon the run.

‘You are too hot’ the black bear growled

her tears splashed on the floor

But as she looked into his eyes

he’d been here once before.

The third  bear’s paws were soft as down

with Goldy in is sight,

he whispered,

‘You know what I think?

You’ll do for me just right.’

    Wow – Goldy must have been tempted to reject ALL bears, but thank goodness there are a few with soft paws.

    We pick horror thinking we are choosing Love! How foolish are we? I imagine, after a life of lovelessness–I shall never look to bears for Love–you can only get a bear’s love–I’ll request Angels–and in return–I pray–I shall receive an angel’s love! Cool!
