If you go into the wood today
Beware the fox
Beware the bear
And always, child,
Remember this:
Trust not the wolf
Though he smiles with his eyes
His teeth are there
To bite you

When you go into the wood today
Beware the fox
Beware the bear
And always, child,
Remember this:
Trust not the woodsman
Though he smiles with his eyes.....

You know what he will do
To a little girl like you
Beware!

So this is Little "Wren" Riding Hood? Great adaptation with a serious message. And yes, I got chills too. We do have to beware, not just the obvious danger, but sometimes also those who pretend to be friends.

Brilliant!
Beware the woodsman indeed, for the greatest fiend comes in human guise (no offence to woodsmen, of course, I know you're not all like that   !).
Great poem, Wren!!!
