SEEING RED !

SEEING RED





Staring in, her brow does darken
She cannot believe her eyes
Seven bears, a rat, a dog  a cat?
Red Riding hood looking  surprised !


Her anger mounts as she looks about
the fairy tales they do shatter
Snow White and Red with a feather bed
a lion wolf as if it doesn't matter !

Have they no feel for a tale so real
Which makes your hair stand tall
Because children fear, far and near
He'll come to eat them all

Her face bright red as the hood on her head
She starts to plot and scheme
A tale she'll weave that you'll ne're believe
that makes the whole world scream

They'll take to their beds and hide their heads
Beneath the covers shaking
Their knees will knock like the sound of a clock
that to their doom is taking

She turns away to plan the day
that she'll make the earth thunder
Shake their beds and fill their heads
With a tale of fear and wonder.

  3. Perfect!

    I should go to bed, hiding my head,
    waiting for the thunder, who'll turn my world down under -äh-
    perhaps the Commoneos better have to switch to Sleeping Beauty now' with all the thorns around the house?
