As soon as wolf began to feel

That he would like a decent meal

He went and knocked Grandma’s door

When Grandma opened , she saw

The sharp white teeth , the horrid grin.

And Wolfie said « May I come in?”

Poor Grandma 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 Granny was too small and tough,

And Wolfie wailed ,  “That’s not enough!

I haven’t yet began to feel

That I have had a decent meal!”

He ran around the  kitchen yelping ,

“ I’ve got another helping “.

The added with a frightful leer,

“ I’m therefore going to wait right here,

Till Little miss Red Riding Hood

Comes home from walking in the wood!”

He quickly put on Grandma clothes ,

{ of 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 sat.

-What great big ears you’ve got, Grandma!

- All the better to hear you with,” the Wolf replied.

-What great big eyes you have Grandma”,

Said Little Red Riding Hood.

• All the better to see you with”, the Wolf replied.

         He sat there watching her and smiled.

     He thought:” I’m going to eat this child.

• Compared with  her old Grandma
• She’s gonna taste like caviar’.

      Then Little Red Riding Hood said,” but Grandma,

• What a lovely great furry coat you have on!”.
• “ That’s wrong!”, cried Wolf.” Have you forgot
• To tell me what BIG TEETH I’ve got?”
• Ah, well, no matter what you say,
• I’m gonna eat you anyway”.

          The small girl smiles . One eyelid flickers,

           She whips a pistol from her knickers.

          She aims it on the creatures’head

          And bang, bang, bang  , she shoots him dead.

           A few weeks later , in the wood ,

            I came  across Miss Riding Hood .

            But what a change !  No cloak of red ,

             No silly hood upon her head .
