Notes About The Poem

Little Red Riding Hood - Once Upon a Time

Little Red Riding Hood was dressed in red leather Went out on her motorbike whatever the weather Every week she drove to see her sick grandma She lived in the next village; it wasn’t that far Little Red would fill her pannier full of tasty treats To tempt her grandma when she wanted food to eat One day Little Red arrived to find the cottage door ajar There was no sign of grandma; she can’t have gone far Little Red hunted high and she hunted low Wherever would her beloved grandma go? Grandma was eventually located in the local pub Hunger had overtaken her and she needed some grub Little Red was taking grandma home on the back of her motorbike Grandma wasn’t wearing a helmet, she thought them unladylike Next thing they knew a police siren was heard Little Red got pulled over, would a fine be incurred? Little Red took off her helmet and used her womanly whiles Soon the young policeman was full of smiles On hearing the story that grandma had been so ill He tore up the ticket – Little Red didn’t get a bill Grandma eased herself off the bike and got into his car He understood the situation and grandma’s house wasn’t far The policeman was now off duty and he came in for tea He found Little Red and grandma such charming company Next time Little Red visited grandma he was waiting at the door Now Little Red is blissfully happy ...in the strong arms of the law!

My oh my. She must have been an attractive one--womanly whiles! They always write the ticket when they stop me! Once, an officer wanted to cite me so bad, but he didn't have his ticket book. The old guy was crazy with anger. I had never seen anything like it before except in the people in my own family.
