Mr. Big Bad Wolf

Sometimes it's all in the answer

[aww-ooooooooooo]

What's that you see walkin' in these woods?

Yes, it is Little Red Riding Hood!

Heya, there, Mr. Big Bad Wolf 
I been here long enough
You’re all little red riding hood could want!

Listen to me

I know, Big, Bad wolf
You don't think little big girls should
Go walkin' in these spooky ol' woods alone.

[aww-ooooooooooo]

What a big wolf you are,
To make this little girl feel so good
So I’ll make you see: I’d like a chase

I been walkin’ out here for quite a ways.
What strong arms you have,
They make me want somethin’ “bad”
So until we get to Grandma's place, 
I think we ought to walk awhile, and say!

You take that sheep suit off!
I know you got somethin’ to show
So, why don’t you come walking with me alone?

[aww-oooohhhhh]

Hey, Mr. Big, Bad Wolf
I'd like to hold you if I could,
But you don’t think I like big, bad wolves, so I won’t

[aww-ooooooooooo]

What a big heart you have,
The better to love me with.
Hey, Mr. Big, Bad Wolf!
Yes, bad wolves can be good.
I’ll make you satisfied
with you close by my side!
Maybe you'll see things my way
before we get to Grandma's place.

Hey, Mr. Big, Bad Wolf,
You sure are lookin' good,
You’re everything a little big girl could want!

[aww-ooooooooooo]
Why go baaaaa, baaaaaa? baaaaa.....

Author's Note

It's a rewrite as a response from Little Red Riding Hood to the Big Bad Wolf.
Read/sung to the song "Little Red Riding Hood" by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs.

even before any of the other reviews...i was singing that song...had the single back in 66 when it came out...sam the sham..ah yes..

what i like about this is the reverse roles...lil red going after the wolf..trying to entice him into her web, or bed...and maybe she is the dangerous one of the two..

i like the way you took the song and redid it with your own poetical slant.

lots of fun..but with something between the lines.

I like the take on this...seems you've weave this a bit different and then add a bit of a translation in the Author's Note...I could see this in a different light read/sung like you say...

[SuperChick62]

Not really a translation. It's a lyrical response to Sam the Sham and the Pharaoh's song, Little Red Riding Hood. Always loved the song, thought I'd respond

[Allen Smuckler]

Add the tune from Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs and voila You've got "Little Red Riding Hood"...nice rendition.... now I can't get the tune out of my head...
BTW...at the time they were one of my faves..

I remember the song by Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs. Good paraphrasing of the original lyrics. Lydi

A lot of women prefer their men to be "Big Bad Wolves" rather than little lambs and the Miss Riding Hood in your poem appears to be one of them. I haven't quite figured out if he's really a wolf or a lamb,but either way she really won't end up very happy. A wolf will eat her right up and a lamb will bore her to death. So she'd really be better of walking to Grandma's on her own. Thanks for this poem - it made me smile and think about a story I hadn't thought of in years.

[SuperChick62]

I love that you got a philosophical meaning out of this. That's so awesome. And yet, so true. We spend all our time dreaming about the one for us that when that one finally shows his or her face, we don't recognize them! The trick that worked for me, is I wasn't looking for my one, just a friend. Good review!
