Put down her basket
And said
So
Who is this lesson
Really for?
Who sent a child
Alone
Into the woods
With just a basket
Looking like bait
Instead of taking
This care
By themselves?
Is the lesson that
Both the old and the young
Will always be preyed on
By
The non-whole some?
Where’s that treat bucket.
The metaphor is gonna go find out if the wolves are like
Real ones
And
Just utter goofballs.
Great. Can I sleep now
Instead of making all the stories
Happy enough?
Or does Mary’s little lamb
Need to be a ram?
I Am Who I Make Myself
