<br>

[LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]<br>

Mother daid,<br>

"Straight ahead,"<br>

Not to delay<br>

or be misled.<br>

I should have heeded<br>

Her advice...<br>

But he seemed so nice.<br>

<br>

And he showed me things<br>

Many beautiful things,<br>

That I hadn't thought to explore.<br>

They were off my path, <br>

So I never had dared.<br>

I had been so careful,<br>

I never had cared.<br>

And he made me feel excited-<br>

Well, excited and scared.<br>

<br>

When he said, "Come in!"<br>

With that sickening grin,<br>

How could I know what was in store?<br>

Once his teeth were bared,<br>

Though, I really got scared-<br>

Well, excited and scared-<br>

But he drew me close<br>

And he swallowed me down,<br>

Down a dark slimy path<br>

Where lie secrets that I never want to know,<br>

And when everything familiar<br>

Seemed to disappear forever,<br>

At the end of the path<br>

Was Granny once again.<br>

<br>

So we wait in the dark<br>

Until someone sets us free,<br>

And we're brought into the light,<br>

And we're back at the start.<br>

<br>

And I know things now,<br>

Many valuable things,<br>

That I hadn't known before:<br>

Do not put your faith <br>

In a cape and a hood,<br>

They will not protect you<br>

The way that they should.<br>

And take extra care with starngers,<br>

Even flowers have their dangers.<br>

And though scary is exciting,<br>

Nice is different than good.<br>

<br>

Now I know:<br>

Don't be scared.<br>

Granny is right,<br>

Just be prepared.<br>

<br>

Isn't it nice to know a lot!<br>

And a little bit not...<br>

<br>
