The Kind Gesture of 'Lil Miss Hood

In my love for you my sweet
Not a worry comes to mind
Where each seed that has been planted
There are flowers now to find

Wading through the grain fields
Is a walk down lovers lane
Even though I broke my leg
Still, there is no pain

Trodding on to Grandma's house
With horn-o’-plenty's yield
My crutch wedged 'tween the cobblestones
Fracturing Achilles heel

Then I came upon a pig's retreat
Built of straw n’ sticks n’ mortar
When suddenly a wolf appeared
Asking for Grandmother

"Aren't you just a bit confused",
I asked the feral wanderer
"Grandma's house is three miles back
if you’re looking for food to plunder"

"‘Tis food indeed I seek little ‘lass”
The furry foe did say
“Just a peek inside your basket
and you’ll soon be on your way”

So I set the tricky timer
And stepped back a pace or two
The Wolf popped open the basket

…Left nothing but his shoes

She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast".

Ha! Great fun! I had a blast reading it! (pun intended)
Nice way to dead end the wolf, I never saw it coming.
Thanks for the smile, I think you made the clock move! ~L

Even with such explosive power: I doubt you are rid of him?
