Big Bad Wolf
It was pure luck
I saw her from far away
From the darkness of the brush
And I prepare my jaws to crush
Her name was Little Red
And she smelled of cookies.
From head to toe, she was so sweet
That’s why I loved to watch her bleed
As innocent as a task
To bring goodies to Grandma
Should not hold such perilous dangers
Like some big furry stranger
To make the hunt more lovely,
I gave a friendly face
I entrapped her with my wit,
My rugged good looks and my lips
Red kissed so softly
And I thought for just a moment
To leave her be and let her go
To walk away as pure as snow
But still, she enticed me
And I decided once and for all
All sharp teeth and spite, I smiled at Little Red
And watched with in delight as her stomach turned to lead.
