To Papa, Mama, and Baby Bear's shame
they left their liquor store unlocked today.
When Goldilocks came in it was the same
M.O. She went first for the Beaujolais,
too sweet, too sweet, how about the gin?
Too dry, too dry, if they'd distill it twice
with juniper then it would be a sin
to leave behind, a steal at twice the price
of thievery, but mixing it with Coke
like rum would be atrocious, not the first
dumb thing she'd done. She left a sorry bloke
out in the parking lot, his avid thirst
for blonds and getaway cars hot, sincere.
She came out with: one bourbon, scotch and beer.
