Little Red Ridding Hood And The Wolf

As soon as Wolf began to feel

That he would like a decent meal

He went and knocked on Grandma's door.

When Grandma opened it, she saw

The sharp white teeth, the horrid green,

And Wolfie said "May i come in?"

Poor Grandmamma was terrified,

'He's going to eat me up' she cried

And she was absolutely right.

He ate her up in one big bite

But Grandmamma was small and tough

And Wolfie wailed, 'that't not enough!'

'i haven't yet begun to feel

'that i have had a decent meal!'

he ran round the kitchen yelping

'i've got to have another helping!'

then added with a frightful leer,

'i'm therefore going to wait right here

'till little miss red ridding hood

'comes home from walking in the wood'.

He quickly put on grandma's clothes

(if course he hadn't eaten those.)

he dressed himself in coat and hat

he puts on shoes and after that

he even brushed and curled his hair,

then sat himself in grandma's chair.

in came the little girl in red

she stopped. She stared. and then she said,

"What great big ears you have, grandma.'

'all the better to hear you with,' the wold replied

'what great big eyes you have, grandma,'

said little red ridding hood

''all the better to see you with,' the wolf replied

Hhe sat there watching her and smiled

he thought, i'm going to eat this child.

compared with her old grandmamma

she's going to taste like caviare

Then little red ridding hood said, 'but grandma,

what a lovely great big furry coat you have on.'

'that wrong!' cried the wolf.' have you forgot

'to tell me what BIG TEETH i've got?

'ah well. no matter what you say,

'i'm going to eat you anyway.'

The small girl smiles. one eyelid flickers.

she whips a pistol out from her knickers

she aims it at the creature's head

and bang bang bang, she shoots him dead.

A few weeks later, in the wood.

i came across miss little red ridding hood.

but what a change! No cloak of red,

No sully hood upon her head.

she said, 'hello, and do please note

'my lovely furry WOLFSKIN COAT.'
