Little Red Riding Hood*

Little Red Riding Hood*

A daughter's love came to send something to her mother

Sending her younger one into he woods but not further

She packed a basket of goodies to help her from being ill

Goodness was always her trademark and in her Soul*s will

She bundled up the younger one to move onward ahead

This younger one wore a cape with a hood over her head

The color that she wore was vibrant to stand out

Bright red was the fashion for it to be seen without a doubt

A wolf over heard her with her mother where she was going

So the wolf went to grandma's house in what it was knowing

To move grandma out of the picture and for it instead to meet

And to know a scrumptious dinner was in its eye's to eat

Off she scurried the younger traipsed away

Into the woods she left so early in the day

Along her journey she seen deer, bears and even a field mouse

Ahhhh!!!! what is in sight now is grandma's house

She knocked on the door and a gravely voice said "who's there?"

"Why it is me grandma, Little Red Riding Hood. I am here"

"Oh my, my dear please come in and see me"

The door opened wide so pleasant and free

Little Red Riding Hood seen grandma in bed not looking to good

So she started to ask a few things as she knew she would

First was, "oh grandma you have a big nose"

The wolf answered "to smell you I suppose"

The next she said "oh grandma you have big eyes"

The wolf said "the better to see you with, such a lovely surprise"

She moved on down it's face and seen that it had big teeth

The WOLF jumped out of bed and here is what it said 

"Here I come out of this bed for it is you that I eat"

A chase pursued and they both scurried around

But where was grandma there was not even a sound

The wolf had tied her up in the back room

But she managed to get free and come to the aid real soon

She took a loaded shotgun and busted on in

She seen this dangerous situation and was about to begin

The shotgun was loaded and a shot went off

The wolf was stunned and went aloft

Though the wolf was not injured and went out the door

It now knew this meant business and was not to come back no more

So Little Red Riding Hood felt safe in grandma's arms

They both gave big hugs by the fireplace so warm

So the end of the story that I wrote to tell

Everything in the end works out real well

In your darkest hours do not freeze or fret

Something is on its way as you ain't seen nothing yet
