As soon as wolf began to feel
That he would like a decent meal,
He went and knocked on Grandma's door,
When Grandma opened it, she saw
The sharp white teeth, the horrid grin,
And wolfie said, "May I come in?"
Poor grandmamma was terrified,
"He's going to eat me up!" She cried,
And she was absolutly right.
He ate her up in one bite.
But grandmamma was small and tough,
And Wolfie wailed "That's not enough!
I havent yet began to feel,
That I've had a decent meal!"
He ran around the kitchen yelping,
"I've got to have a second helping!"
Then added with a fearful leer,
"I'm therefore going to have to wait right here
Till little Miss Red Riding Hood
Come home from walking in the wood."
He quickly put on Grandma's clothes,
(Of course he hadn't eaten those)
He even brushed his curly hair,
Then sat himself in Grandma's chair.
In came the girl in red.
She stopped. She stared. And then she said,
"What great big ears you have, Grandma."
"All the better to hear you with," The wolf replied
"What great big eyes you have, Grandma"
"All the better to see you with," The wolf replied.
The little red riding hood said " but Grandma, what a lovely great big furry coat you have on."
"thats wrong!" Cried the wolf. "have you forgot
To tell me what BIG TEETH I've got?
Ah well, no matter what you say,
I'm going to eat you anyway."
The small girl smiles. One eyelid flickers.
She whips and pistol from her knickers.
She aims it at the creature's head
And bang bang bang, she shoots him dead.
A few weeks later, in the woods,
I came across Miss Riding Hood.
But what a change! No cloak of red,
No silly hood upon her head.
She said " hello, and do please note
My lovely furry WOLFSKIN COAT."
This revolting rhymes story about red riding hood is a twist on the traditional tale. Red Riding shoots the wolf rather than the wolf killing her. I like this, it is what I want to do with the story by twisting it, however I want to make red riding the evil character. I really would love to make something original, like this poem from Roald Dahl is original.
