An important little story

Mom told me as a child

I should've listened closer

but I was kind of wild

Each and every detail
I cannot recall

I think i know the gist of it

But wish I knew it all

Somethin' bout a basket

And a hooded child,

A grandma and a sneaky wolf

Who had an evil smile

He saw the girl out walkin'

To her grandma's house

He started with some stalkin'

As quiet as a mouse.

He knew that he must have her

He thought "What shall I do?
Anything that I can try
To get me close to you."

Then he tried to trick her

With his cunning ways

Determined he would have her

To do with what he may

He lied to try and get her

He used some fancy words

He even tried to act the part

Of someone she preferred

He used a gentle voice

To try and lure her in

A wolf in soft sheep's clothing

But cruel under the skin

He almost had her going

She almost thought him true

Until she gazed into his eyes

Then suddenly she knew

The lesson to the story

Is always know your man

And if he likes to hurt you

Get out while you can

If you stay much longer
You'll suffer in the end
Because he cannot love you
A wolf resides in him.
