Hi Roxy,
It's been a while since I last read a post from you, but I see you still have it! Cute little poem I'm sure the little ones will enjoy.
God bless you, Dennis

Thanks so much. Sorry I'm taking so long to respond, I've not been on the site for a long time. Need to get back at it. Merry Christmas.

Roxy,
I knew you could do it!!! This was a fun piece to read and the rhyming added a little extra. But, that should settle things, right? Never doubt yourself. I believe in you!
One small note:
1.) if I'm still on this earthy plaine,
--> though I'm not sure whether 'plain' or 'plane' is appropriate here - I do know it would not be 'plaine' with the 'e'. *smile*
Thanks a bunch!

Work has been very slow, so I worked on the poem to kill some time. I was surprised I could do it and very happy. I made the correction. Thanks so much dear.
Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
I agree that visiting the zoo
is for sure the correct thing to do
and of all the creatures under the moon
I definitely would not take care of a baboon!
Fun story. Well-written. Creative. The rhyme was a nice addition. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much. I like your rhyme too and yes baboons are a real no no. =}
Comment from Michele Harber
This is absolutely adorable!!! I love the entire premise, and how it so logically leads to your final line, "I think I'll just visit the zoo."
The situations you set up are both logical ("I'd build a high fence so jumping it would be so very hard") and humorous ("I'd call him Goldilocks, just for the fun of it. If he knew the whole story, I'm sure he'd have a fit"). My one suggestion, just because you set it up so perfectly to fit this, is to change that second example to, "I'd call him Goldilocks, just for the fun of it. If he knew the whole story, I'm sure he'd have none of it."
It's always nice to have you back, Roxanna!

Comment from Pamusart
Hi Roxanna. How the heck are you? I'm back from a long hiatus. I hope you are well.
What a delightful story/ poem. So imaginative. I did find one thing, I think, In this line
"was exercised well, bath him "
Should it be bathe rather than bath?
I truly enjoyed this. Thus, the six star rating

Comment from Thesis
I was initially confused with the rhyming in a short story, but it was cute when you read through it. It made sense and showed love and caring for animals, which is always a plus in my book.

Comment from jmdg1954
Hiya Rox...
Yea, although a bear would be a cool pet, fully grown he or she would tower over me and far outweigh me, both very daunting attributes,
All said dnd done, I loved your rhyming prose post!
Cheers, John

No a real bear would not be a good animal to own. I'll just watch them on TV. Thank you.
Comment from royowen
Oh yes Roxanne, visiting the zoo might be a much better idea, although bears are really quite nice, I don't know how I would react to a real one. We have owned many cats and dogs, but I think they are a good size, beautifully written blessings Roy

Comment from CrystieCookie999
I very much enjoyed reading this story. A bear named Goldilocks is funny. I think it would also appeal to younger children. I think you put a lot of thought into this, especially to get it to rhyme.
Little fixes:
bath him often so he wouldn't smell,
This might be regional, but I would use bathe instead of bath
Not a drivers license
I would say: Not a driver's license
In the winter he'd wear a jacket with fuzzy, furry hood.
I would just add the article 'a' in front of fuzzy, furry hood.
