This Ain't No Fairy Tale

by xToBeWithYoux   Dec 18, 2009


All dressed in red from head to toe,
was pretty Little Red Riding Hood.
With a hamper did she go
to her Grandma's in the wood.

She wasn't frightened or at all scared
when a big, bad wolf blocked her path.
She was surprised that he had even dared,
"What a loser" she said with a laugh.

But the wolf certainly wasn't impressed,
grabbing her wrists like a clamp.
But that idea wasn't his best:
Little Red was world kung-fu champ.

Our heroine loved to kick some butt,
and with a smile as sweet as pie,
her foot made contact with the mutt,
sending him soaring into the sky.

A local lumberjack had heard commotion,
running to Little Red's side.
With a charming sense of devotion,
he escorted her like a bride.

As they approached Grandma's home,
the handsome lad waved off his miss.
However, he wouldn't be left alone
after a passionate thank you kiss.

Really, she's no angel sweet and small,
but this story is her own.
Don't spoil the secret, after all,
some things are better left unknown.

    Cool! very nice poem... it does tell people that appearences may fool you, when the original version of the fairytale was written I guess girls were as sweet and innocent as they seemed, but these days they are feirce... which is why your poem suits our reality a lot and also sends a message to all girls out there that they don't have to be tough looking to be tough... great work!
