An Untold Fairytale.....

Driving north on US 101 in my search for Sasquatch I turned and entered the redwood forest. 
I parked and taking  myself and my time I began my search...
when shortly it was that I came across large prints in the red soil...
I followed as gingerly as possible...when
behind me came a deep voice.   

"Where are you going little girl?"....

It was coming from a large brown bear...who looked at me
and drew a large smile...
I told him I was looking for the legendary Sasquatch.
...he replied

"I have not seen this Sasquatch, but I can show you where Goldilocks keeps her bed."

I was mesmerized with thought of seeing where this girl laid her head and agreed to follow him.

Shortly ever after...we came upon a log cabin - we entered and I awaited
the viewing of this talked about bed that she slept in....
there was a bed but no Goldilocks and soon
realized that this sly bear had locked the gate to the forest
 and threw away the keys....he had captured me...as his own...

Within time I gave birth to a golden haired girl who slept in that empty bed.....
as she grew I knit her rainbow sweaters to wear with her beautiful
dreadlocks of gold.....the large bear....called me mama
and played Dylan for us on his harmonica.....

We only ate organic produce and twice a year met with all our neighbors
for a block party in the three acre wood.....where last year...
Hansel and Gretal came carrying Mother Goose  in a pail....they had saved
her from being sold off at a market square.....and for her gratitude she
laid us a golden egg....which we would not eat..
because we all went vegan years before.....

Moral of the Story....if you ever enter the Redwoods in Humboldt County CA....be prepared to see Mother Goose riding in a pail and fairy tales come true right before your eyes.....bkm
