She was going to her grannie’s
Not wearing red nor with a hood
Delicately dressed a little risky
For passing through the woods
Brought along reinforcements
Her sister and the neighbor’s girl
To be safe but not a requirement
Were two lunch-boxes of edibles
No adults to accompany them
Nor any weapons as a defence
A resolve to reach their destination
Hoping bad wolves not marauding
If wolves were to approach them
They were then in for a surprise
Neighbor’s girl a karate exponent
They were not known to be nice

Those wolves will get a karate chop and their plan would flop

ReplyDeletereally...good for the girls then ~
ReplyDeleteNice doesn't always win out, need a little bad here and there
ReplyDeletethat ending is so cute and I love the red riding hood reference
ReplyDeleteToo cute. The picture itself is priceless
ReplyDeleteThis was a wonderful twist to a traditional tale --- love the clever use of "modern" but ancient defenses --- I'm thinking of the potential for "ninja karate warriors" here - and chuckling away.
