Little Red Riding
Hood and the Wolf
from Revolting Rhymes
by Roald Dahl, 1982
As soon as Wolf began to feel But Grandmamma was small and tough, Then added with a frightful leer, He quickly put on Grandma's clothes, In came the little girl in red. "All the better to hear you with," He sat there watching her and smiled. Then Little Red Riding Hood said, " "That's wrong!" cried Wolf. The small girl smiles. One eyelid flickers. A few weeks later, in the wood,
That he would like a decent meal,
He went and knocked on Grandma's door.
When Grandma opened it, she saw
The sharp white teeth, the horrid grin,
And Wolfie said, "May I come in?"
Poor Grandmamma was terrified,
"He's going to eat me up!" she cried.
And she was absolutely right.
He ate her up in one big bite.
And Wolfie wailed, "That's not enough!
I haven't yet begun to feel
That I have had a decent meal!"
He ran around the kitchen yelping,
"I've got to have a second helping!"
"I'm therefore going to wait right here
Till Little Miss Red Riding Hood
Comes home from walking in the wood."
(Of course he hadn't eaten those).
He dressed himself in coat and hat.
He put on shoes, and after that,
He even brushed and curled his hair,
Then sat himself in Grandma's chair.
She stopped. She stared. And then she said,
"What great big ears you have, Grandma."
the Wolf replied.
"What great big eyes you have, Grandma."
said Little Red Riding Hood.
"All the better to see you with,"
the Wolf replied.
He thought, I'm going to eat this child.
Compared with her old Grandmamma,
She's going to taste like caviar.
But Grandma, what a lovely great big
furry coat you have on."
"Have you forgot
To tell me what BIG TEETH I've got?
Ah well, no matter what you say,
I'm going to eat you anyway."
She whips a pistol from her knickers.
She aims it at the creature's head,
And bang bang bang, she shoots him dead.
I came across Miss Riding Hood.
But what a change! No cloak of red,
No silly hood upon her head.
She said, "Hello, and do please note
My lovely furry wolfskin coat."
