Big Bad Wolf
If the big bad wolf had evil eyes or looked the part
Scary and frightening, with an obviously mean heart
We would not be fooled, and life would be fine
But Big Bad Wolf camouflages himself, completely out of line.
He has a handsome face, and clean manicured hands.
He dances a slow methodical foxtrot to popular bands.
He opens the doors, and uses polite words like please.
So unsuspecting innocents do not spot his sleaze.
Juries let him off over and over again.
Because his smile charmed them or their kin.
He looks contrite, some say, we could not convict him.
Thus, the Big Bad Wolf gets to murder innocents once again.
