Red Riding Hood With a Twist
There's a girl everyone should
Know--Little Red Riding Hood
Who had some troubles on the way
To visit her grandma that day
She just got new glasses to try
That were cool and really "fly"
But still blurry and not quite ready
To adjust--her eyes not steady
When she arrived there were not locks
On the door because the "fox"
Left it open so that she
Could come in so merrily
A happy girl for his dinner
Would make him fatter and not thinner
For dessert cause he just ate
Grandma about seven or eight
She had a basket of goodies
"Fake" granny got--but soon would she
Notice before its too late
For this foxes dinner date
She leaned in close without the fear
That somethings wrong--how could he dare
Trick this sweet and gentle child
Who is kind and very mild
Never causing any hurt
But he don't care--fixing the skirt
That he stole from granny's clothes
She's painting his fingers and toes
With some light yellow and green
Nail polish--what a scene
Playing board games just for fun
A slumber party has begun
Making popcorn, watching shows
A new friendship starts to grow
His heart is melting really fast
He's trying so hard to pass
Up the feelings that are building
Reducing his craving for killing
This child who is only six
So he makes a bed up quick
And tucks her in with lots of care
A soft cuddly teddy bear
Is put in her arms to hold tight
As fox hugs her through the night
