Smoking Hot - Once Upon a Time

Smoking Hot Once upon a time there was a little girl She carried a chipped edged bowl in her hand Charity had been generous to her riding years Gifts were ripped, unwanted and unsized clothes Grandma loved her Red Riding Hood in any wear She named her so for her cheeks were smoking hot At the slightest insinuation about her bowl or any form of abuse She had been wearing a faded small red cloak for years First, too large sized then, too small in the wintry land Little Hood begged for her grandma's survival Who lay bedridden in their shambled home Red Riding Hood had outgrown her baby size No longer could she keep her face hidden In her small hood, thus attracting the bestial wolfish eyes A wolf befriended her and took some fruit for granny He held her soft hand as she led him to grandma on bed Money flowed in, and so did fruit and health Philanthropy and blessings oozed in every corner The lusty wolf took his chance as grandma lay to rest Red faced with smoking hot coal eyes as he grabbed her Red Riding grew from adolescence to maturity With a carving knife and hot pepper spray in his eyes The wolf and beast were packed off before a howl. No more begging, no more tears and tatters Grandma and Red Riding Hood lived happily ever after February 6, 2016 Contest: Once Upon A Time Sponsor: Laura Loo
