I was reading some Nursery Rhymes to a friend`s daughter and she loved Little Miss Riding Hood.  She asked me to write a version for her.  This is the result and I`m pleased to say little Katie loved it !

Little Miss Red...!

Little Miss Red

got up out of bed

to go and visit her gran

picked up her coat

and a five pound note

running out of her caravan

through the dark wood

dressed in her red hood

her basket on her arm

feels someone is there

sees a fox... what a scare !

but she`d never come to harm

for in her pocket

found next to her Locket

she carries a little pistol 

if he comes near

he can join big brown bear

sweeping the streets of Bristol !

so off she skips

a smile on her lips

can`t wait to see her Grandmother

she`ll have such fun

playing out in the sun

best place to be through the summer  !
