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 absolutely right.
He ate her up in one big bite.
But Grandmamma was small and tough,
And Wolfie wailed, "That's not enough!
I haven't yet begun to feel
That I have had a decent meal!"
He ran around the kitchen yelping,
"I've got to have a second helping!"
Then added with a frightful leer,
"I'm therefore going to wait right here
Till Little Miss Red Riding Hood
Comes home from walking in the wood."
He quickly put on Grandma's clothes,
(Of course he hadn't eaten those).
He dressed himself in coat and hat.
He put on shoes, and after that,
He even brushed and curled his hair,
Then sat himself in Grandma's chair.
In came the little 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."
said Little Red Riding Hood.
"All the better to see you with,"
the Wolf replied.
He sat there watching her and smiled.
He thought, I'm going to eat this child.
Compared with her old Grandmamma,
She's going to taste like caviar.
Then Little Red Riding Hood said, "
But Grandma, what a lovely great big
furry coat you have on."
"That's wrong!" cried 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 a 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 wood,
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."

I heard of this poem for the first time through 'OFF BY HEART' the recent Sunday Times/BBC competition. A wonderful up-date of an old story. Of the 12 finalists 7 of the children chose to recite this poem! Philip Pullman, one of the judges, said the poem had one of the most famous and well-remembered lines in children's poetry, viz: "She whips a pistol from her knickers"! The children all thought it was great fun! -

From guest prettyme (contact)
excellent....i loved it...i always used to think that she should have done that when my mother used totell me the story...though i don't approve her using his skin as a coat ...in all it is excellent .... -
Very nicee story
the old red riding hood was not as cleaver and bold as this modern times child is, surely she had read the story of that poor girl and she became wiser than,, but it seems that the wolf had also read the story that's why he was expecting to be asked about his Big teeth.,, it’s really funny ,the rhyming is very sweet. -

little red riding hood and the wolf
From guest Peggy (contact)
I laughed so hard, it's such a good poem!!! -
A truly wonderful adaption of what I believe is (dare i say) quite a predictable old story. this wolf must have read the original too as he was waiting for his teeth to be mentioned. rofl, that was funny.
