"Goldilocks and the Three Bears"

Information
Plot/Description
Spoiler Warning! This poem follows the same plot
as the traditional story but presents it as if it were a case for a jury.
The three bears go for a walk to wait for their porridge to cool, and
while they're gone Goldilocks breaks into their house and eats their food.
Then she sits on a precious antique baby's chair and breaks it to bits
(and says a rude word in the process). Afterwards she goes upstairs and
walks on all the beds without removing her shoes. The narrator explains
that in the traditional story, children are supposed to cheer when this
little criminal escapes. In his version, though, Goldilocks gets her
comeuppance. "Oh Daddy!" cried the Baby Bear, / "My porridge gone! It
isn't fair!" / "Then go upstairs," the Big Bear said, / "Your porridge is
upon the bed. / But as it's inside mademoiselle, / You'll have to eat
her up as well!"
