Sunday Muse # 95



you've aged
so have i
it's been a long time
since i could fit into a red riding hood outfit

i never wore red again after that
youve lost your teeth i see
not scary at all to little girls anymore
bugger off before i belt you
with my rolled up newspaper

    Aging and the myriad changes are inevitable... she should find that costume, alter it, parade proudly down the park path!

    Nowadays my old-woman-teeth are scarier than the wolf's. LOL. I enjoyed this, it gave me a chuckle.

    Age changes many things for sure. Love your take on the image Rall!

    Aging wolfs aren't so scary any more, and little red riding "goods" not so vulnerable. I love this!

    We had a very similar interpretation of this image. I like the idea that it is now the woman who has the teeth. She's gained experience and the wolf has just gotten old.

    Haha! So they meet again! I see she's grown more assertive with age. Good to see you, Rall.

    Wolves have had a bad press whilst old women get away with anything. I'm with Wolfy!
