Little red riding hood
runs to the forest alone
away from her home at sea
then she kicks a stone

Into the forest
with a cape she goes
What’s in the forest?
Nobody knows

Her basket for grandma
tight in her hand
the huge forest
a dark grassland

She picks some flowers
one by one
in a grassy patch
shaded from sun

For grandma
in the basket they go
the heavy basket
makes her slow

A wolf near the trees
watching the girl
his eyes shining
like a shiny pearl

He runs to the girl
with a bounce in his stride
and then he walks by
the girl’s side

He asks, Where are you going
so far from sea?
She says, To my grandma
so we can have tea

Then off bounds the wolf
happy with glee
thinking, I’ll be having
YOU for tea

He runs to grandma’s house
bringing a few objects
One is a knife!
I wonder what happens next
