Cook's Delight

The Brothers Grimm wrote fondly
Of little Red Riding Hood
Long before Miss Libby
Ever understood

The stories of the big bad wolf
But now of course she does
And hearing all about it
Gives her quite a buzz

(So what I'll do this evening
is bring it up to date)

Libby, little Libby
Is probably about the same
Age as Dear Miss Riding Hood
With just another name

Lets say her Dear Grandmother
Lives in Ashridge, she
Has a cottage painted white
Where the bluebells be

Libby little Libby
decided she would go
And visit her grandmother
with some apples she did grow

In her little garden with some
Lettuce and some cress
But she hadn't got more than
1/4 of a mile
it could be less

When out from a dark thicket
This wolf said "Hi Libby"
Where dear are you going?
To see my grand mummy

And where pray does she live dear?
The wolf to her did say
She lives in Bluebell valley
Just across the way

Pick some flowers here Libby
The wolf said, over there
There's cowslips and there's primroses
loads of them to spare

And as our little Libby
picked them one by one
The wolf went off to Grandma's place
Oh! what had Libby done!

Of course you know that story
I must say its quite grimm
What he did to Gran mama
Really on a whim

So I must change the story
Cos little Libby had
A mobile phone and rang ahead
which for our wolf was bad

For when he knocked upon her door
Expecting for to scoff
She fired a shotgun at him
and so she saw him off

When little Libby did arrive
Her grandmama was there
And the apples and the lettuces
and the cress they both did share

( hope you like the story Libby you are the hero thanks for coming to buy goodies from Cooks Delight today)
