Goldilocks and the Three Beds

The first bed was too cold, but Goldie
shivered and shook through three long
winters, sleeping on hypoallergenic
eggshells, afraid to ask the bear for warmth.
The second was too hot, and another
woman's perfume sweated through
the bear's pores as he slept. But now,
your Lady Locks has found her own
perfect pillowtop, with a golden-eyed boy
and a striped orange cat
to tickle their toes.
