LITTLE RED

Little Red Riding Hood,
skipping through the forest,
not as innocent as she seems.
THere comes the wolf,
so hungry and naive,
smelling the food of his dreams.

She smiles,
continuing to frolic through the trees,
holding that basket tight.
That bad old wolf creeps up,
smiling licking his lips,
he'd have a feast tonight!

"Little girl, little girl,
can I see what's in the basket?
I just want a peek!"
Red shakes her head,
and keeps on going,
knowing he wants more than a little treat.

An evil smile slips up her cheeks,
as she reaches Grandma's house,
and goes to her bed.
She knows he is there,
and waiting,
waiting to be fed.

"Oh Red, oh Red, I'm so happy to see you!"
the fake Grandma smiles,
lying, cover over her, in bed.
The little one just smiles,
and opens the basket,
and there lies a dead wolves head.

"I brought it just for you, Grandma!"
She smiles and grins,
"Eat it up now! Before it gets cold!"
The wolves eyes widen,
as he stares into those dead eyes,
so afraid his massive appetite is on hold.

A knock came from the door,
"Knock-knock, whose there?"
and over goes Red.
"Hello, Mr. Woodsman," she smiles,
pointing over to the wolf,
"There's your wolves head!"

"Oh, Joy!" He cries out,
as joyfully as can be,
as he pulls out the axe.
The wolf howls,
the wolf screams,
as his head is severed from his ass.

"I'm glad you came,"
Whispered Red,
"I couldn't have eaten him all by myself!"
The Woodsman nodded,
and sat down,
"Eh, just another skull on the shelf."
