Little Red Short Shorts


Little Red short shorts

Left for a jog
Planning a path
To Grandma's house
Her music was perforated
Cat calls, and wolf whistles
Twirl for me shorty
My kind of girl
Eat you up
Smile
The woodsman will help
She was certain
Turned heel and ran
No

Wolves will be wolves

The woodsman laughed

It’s a cultural difference

Feel flattered
Not ALL wolves
Her skin crawled
She needed to see grandma
Grandma knows what to do
But Grandma was a wolv
With big teeth
Big claws

I know you want this

He growled

Good girls don’t wear short shorts

So Little Red

Wished she was dead

Because good girls don’t wear short shorts
