Skipping through the woods with her usual picnic basket
Goodies plenty wrapped in a checkered blankie
Whicker top golden latched tighter than a funeral casket
Little green ferns and tiny bugs that skitter
Weren't the only thing in danger of her traveling combat boots
Nearing ever closer to an unsuspecting stranger
To Grandma's house
To Grandma's house
She goes
Heal to toe
Heal to toe
This one's day is about to be filled with woe
For Red Riding Hood knows exactly what happened to Grandma while in her cozy bed she dozed
Thanks to the assistance of her loyal fluff ball kitty
Whispering to her the news he caught wind in the city
Soon as she heard the gruesome word
Packed was her basket
Wrapped was her cloak
And out the door she flitted like an angry bird
Quelled by the time she reached the cabin though
She would let herself in
And pretend in bed was her Grandmother and remark she thought she was looking mighty thin
Down the stranger's throat from the whicker bin
She would stuff the mysterious goodies provided by her familiar
The fluff ball kitty
And wait for them to work with a devilishly sly smirk
It took a moment perhaps because he was still in a daze
Before he realized something was wrong because the stranger's tummy started gurgling after the goodies were gone
Not long after upchucked Grandma
Rescued by Little Red Riding Hood
And they lived happily ever after

"her traveling combat boots" - First You had my attention, now You have my curiosity. What kind of bootcamp is she at? A little witches academy? "Heal to toe Heal to toe" - I'm assuming it's a marching step but reading it makes me think she's casting or having some kind of passive magic heal the forest from her heavy footsteps or mankind's pollution.
This is a great take to a classic. Well done!
