A Dish Best Served Red

There once was a girl name of Hood who walked tall, as every girl should. She tossed over her head a cover of bright red and ventured out into the wood. She carried a black riding crop and critters she’s stop with a pop. But, Ole Dracula saw her and made her his daughter Now, the blood bank is her first stop. Well, sweet Red, she still loved her Grandma so, though pale she went with a camera. But who did she find that awfull nighttime in the cottage, was it her Grandma??? Red Riding hood took a look see? beneath the night cap, who was she? Long teeth, she had four, her hands, they were paws So Red fed, with a “Tee hee hee hee!” *Little Red Riding Hood spoof for "Happily Ever After?"

Oh very good. I love the limerick cadence, the classical lilting you have used, but also the story and the twists you've given it in such a few lines. Very good. I like this very much.
