Little Red, Little Red,
went straight to bed,
not having thought,
about those cookies she had brought,
her dear old grandmother.

For in the dead of night,
she awoke with quite a fright.
Those cookies had some cinnamon you see,
Granny was as deadly allergic as one can possibly be.

Past the woods around the been,
In her cottage granny reached for her epipen.
After she had finished she breathed "Whew I thought that I was done for!"
"Red's little prank was cruel and gruesome,"
"I'll get her back for this one!"
Granny lay back in her bed and held her breath as Red ran in.
Red, horrified at the site of granny nelt down by the bed and sobbed "I swear I'll never bake again!"
