My Little Pink Riding Hoods

My Little Pink Riding Hoods

went out to the woods

not much equipped with a hopeful basket of cookie

nor had they an overwhelming jar of jelly.

My Little Pink Riding Hoods

went out to the woods

started out humbly with almost nothing

the evil wolf notwithstanding,

they do come back with a little something...

My Little Pink Riding Hood,

in her Grade 1 CW class assembly,

presented 'My Aunt Came Back' song

about countries in the world, if not wrong

with her classmates all along.

Being the lead

whom Ms Claire had carefully picked,

my Little Pink Riding Hood stood up

and threw a question to open up
"Who remembers the countries that we sang about?"

which the audience responded with no doubt.

My Little Pink Riding Hood

on two separate days, came back from the wood

with a basket full of these sweeeeeeeeeet cookies in her hood...

--------------------

My other Little Pink Riding Hood

on another day came back from the wood

with no basket of cookie

but a jar of jolly sweeeeeeeeeet jelly...

My other Little Pink Riding Hood

in her Grade 4 LF class assembly

was one of the three main characters

in a skit on 'Heroes and Legends' though no actors.

Tomorrow (26th Feb)

at the International Festival of Literature

my other Little Pink Riding Hood

will be staging 'Little Red Riding Hood'

with seven other girls in the same wood.

One girl becomes the wolf and another girl plays the little red riding hood
but my other Little Pink Riding Hood

with the rest five who Ms Lee considers good

will be reciting the poem 'Little Red Riding Hood'.

So, come over tomorrow

with no gloom or sorrow

to this International Fringe Festival thingy

that will be held at Dubai Festival City.

We always say

to our Little Pink Riding Hoods

never forget to say

thank you Allah whenever you pray.

May our Little Pink Riding Hoods

live happily ever after. Amiin.

The end.
