What The What: AKA- WTF

...it could happen you know...

"Hey there lil red riding hood
you sure are looking good.
You're everything
a big bad wolf would want.."
Song: 'Lil Red Riding Hood'
by Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs, 1966

WTF?
I am seeing red.
No, not my name,
but a red suited imp,
winged and armed
with bow and arrow.
...T W A N G..

All I was doing,
reading,
enjoying some faerie tales.
Now all I see
is lil Red Riding Hood!
A fantasy,
fiction,
a child's fear
and delight?!
She's loverly you know.
Stop, get control,
don't look at her picture.
Put down that book!
...T W A N G...

Oh no, not again.
Come on Cupid
pick on someone your own size.
My heart's already full of holes.
Besides I'm too old.
Just go away
leave me alone.
...T W A N G...

***

OUCH.
Okay, ok
you win,
I'll give it a try.
Approaching,
wearing a big smile,
heart in my hand,
I bow,
"Ms Riding Hood,
will you dance with me?"

Careful … Red rides with wolves. So funny and creative, this piece.
