Little Red Riding Bush

When Little Red Riding Bush pulls on his hood,
His peripheral vision isn't that good.
He waltzed to Afgrannystan fast as he could,
But didn't see Wolfie was up to no good.
Naïve Little Red Riding Bush.

The nefarious Wolfie said, "Just follow me.
Afgrannystan's not where the action should be.
I've planned this for years, so now let's go see
If Eye-raq's not ready for democracy."
Poor gullible Face Is Red Bush.

So that's what they did, but it got out of hand.
Their reception was not what Wolfie had planned.
Nor does Little Red Riding Bush yet understand
That Wolfie & Company should have been canned
By sweet Little Red Riding Bush.

There's a moral, of course, that naivete should
Not be rewarded with a waltz in the wood.
Those judges and Congress should have withstood
Attempts to promote a boy to manhood
Like sweet Little Red Riding Bush.
