Miss Scarlet Hood by Lynne Phillips

Miss Scarlet Hood met a bad wolf in the wood.

“Where are you going dressed all in red?”

She pulled a pistol and shot him dead.

A witch appeared. “I’ll cast a spell.”

Miss Scarlet pushed her down a well.

An ogre grabbed at her red cloak.

A knife appeared at his fat throat.

“Got you Missy,” a goblin said with a laugh.

She kicked him howling down the path.

“Don’t tell me tales,” her mother said,

And sent Miss Scarlet straight to bed.

“Tomorrow, I’ll find a dragon that flies,

And Mother will know I don’t tell a lies.”
