Most worthy of praise	A
Were the virtuous ways	A
Of Little Red Riding Hood's Ma	B
And no one was ever	C
More cautious and clever	C
Than Little Red Riding Hood's Pa	B
They never misled	D
For they meant what they said	D
And would frequently say what they meant	E
And the way she should go	F
They were careful to show	F
And the way that they showed her she went	E
For obedience she was effusively thanked	G
And for anything else she was carefully spanked	G
	-
It thus isn't strange	H
That Red Riding Hood's range	H
Of virtues so steadily grew	I
That soon she won prizes	J
Of different sizes	J
And golden encomiums too	I
As a general rule	K
She was head of her school	K
And at six was so notably smart	L
That they gave her a cheque	F
For reciting The Wreck	F
Of the Hesperus wholly by heart	L
And you all will applaud her the more I am sure	M
When I add that this money she gave to the poor	N
	-
At eleven this lass	O
Had a Sunday school class	O
At twelve wrote a volume of verse	P
At thirteen was yearning	F
For glory and learning	F
To be a professional nurse	P
To a glorious height	Q
The young paragon might	Q
Have grown if not nipped in the bud	R
But the following year	S
Struck her smiling career	S
With a dull and a sickening thud	R
I have shed a great tear at the thought of her pain	T
And must copy my manuscript over again	U
	-
Not dreaming of harm	V
One day on her arm	V
A basket she hung It was filled	W
With jellies and ices	J
And gruel and spices	J
And chicken legs carefully grilled	W
And a savory stew	I
And a novel or two	I
She'd persuaded a neighbor to loan	X
And a hot water can	Y
And a Japanese fan	Y
And a bottle of eau de cologne	X
And the rest of the things that your family fill	Z
Your room with whenever you chance to be ill	Z
	-
She expected to find	A2
Her decrepit but kind	A2
Old Grandmother waiting her call	B2
But the visage that met her	C
Completely upset her	C
It wasn't familiar at all	B2
With a whitening cheek	F
She started to speak	F
But her peril she instantly saw	C2
Her Grandma had fled	D
And she'd tackled instead	D
Four merciless Paws and a Maw	C2
When the neighbors came running the wolf to subdue	I
He was licking his chops and Red Riding Hood's too	I
	-
At this terrible tale	D2
Some readers will pale	D2
And others with horror grow dumb	E2
And yet it was better	C
I fear he should get her	C
Just think what she might have become	E2
For an infant so keen	F2
Might in future have been	G2
A woman of awful renown	H2
Who carried on fights	I2
For her feminine rights	I2
As the Mare of an Arkansas town	H2
She might have continued the crime of her 'teens	I2
And come to write verse for the Big Magazines	I2
	-
	-
The Moral There's nothing much glummer	C
Than children whose talents appall	B2
One much prefers those who are dumber	C
But as for the paragons small	B2
If a swallow cannot make a summer	C
It can bring on a summary fall	B2
