Into the Woods

Into the woods on a bright summers day With a basket of food for her Grandma But before she arrived she would pick a bouquet A gift for her Grandma on this her birthday She noticed the gamekeeper passing her by So called out his name as she waved him goodbye Normally friendly, but today Wolf looked down As she saw on his face an embarrassing frown She decided to check if her Granny was up So she got out her mobile to call and checkup She heard a strange voice but the signal was poor Grandma’s voice was too deep, said she wanted to sleep Maybe visit tomorrow for today she felt weak This made her suspicious she started to shake For her dear sweet Grandma should be baking a cake She decided to call on her friend PC Blake For her instinct was telling her something was wrong as she called him to ask could he please come along So together they wended their way through the wood Nearing Grandma’s chalet, she removed her red hood As they reached her front door, heard a voice shout for more So perplexed and alarmed they went in fully armed But imagine their shock, not believing their eyes For Grandma was getting a birthday surprise Grandma and Wolf stark-naked on the floor Cavorting and frolicking, they were making amour So discreetly they left, gently closing Grandma’s door… 8th January 2019 Competition: Into The Woods Sponsor: Silent One 2nd placement A different take on this ancient fairy tale...
