The classroom clock said ten past ten. 

    The children all worked hard.

A shadow passed their window pane

    And a girl ran through the yard.

 

The classroom door began to move 

     As someone came inside:

‘It’s Goldilocks.  She’s late again!’ –

    And all the children sighed.

 

Now what excuse has she today

     For getting here so late?

She missed the bus?  The car broke down?

    They smiled, but had to wait.

 

What story do you think that she

      Then told her teacher next?

‘You’re late again!  What’s happened now?

      Come girl, don’t look perplexed!’

 

‘You know the woods, behind the school? 

     I walked to school that way

And there I saw the sort of house

     You don’t see every day.

 

‘It seemed to call me through the gate

    And up to the front door

And when I found it wasn’t locked,

     I wanted to see more.'
