Start to Understand. . .

Hey Little Red Riding Hood.
Hey you knew that's how it'd start
Start your chores
Start your homework
Homework is boring
Homework sucks
Sucks to have a mother
Sucks to have a father
Father is a loser
Father is not looking. . .
Looking at the forest
Forest so cool
Forest kind of dark
Dark kind of scary
Dark makes it hard to see
See dark shadows
See glowing eyes
Eyes watching you
Eyes getting closer
Closer comes the thing
Closer come its teeth
Teeth pearly white
Teeth long and sharp
Sharp teeth near your neck
Sharp teeth and long red tongue
Tongue is frozen.
Tongue cannot scream.
Scream in the darkness.
Scream for help
Help from someone
Help from your parents.
Parents can't help
Parents are losers
Losers aren't so bad
Losers are nice
Nice to hear your mother's voice
Nice to feel your father's arms
Arms come out of the shadows
Arms tear at your bonnet
Bonnet ripped from your body
Bonnet flies off as you run
Run fast
Run home
Home is where you get a spanking
Home is where you understand
Understand your parents
Understand their fears
Your
Fears
