Red Riding Hood Redux

So tonite at work Jim and i were talking and he's been helping me write stuff creatively.  He said sometimes the best way to write is to redo a story that's already been done.  he brought up the story of Little Red Riding Hood as an example.  saying stuff like maybe she has an Uzi or she's a ninja.  i said i had seen a movie on sci-fi once where she was a werewolf hunter.  so without further ado here's my version of all of that. 
Riding thru the hood with Little Betty in her convertible 57 Chevy
hunting down werewolves
on the way to visit Granny
Living down by the levy
Ain't no other Chevy with razor slicing rims
Granny's saving milk and oatmeal raisin cookies
While that girl in schoolgirl red
Is stacking up pelts of ugly lupine fur
Howls fly thru the night
People run with fright
Granny's texting Betty
That girl riding in the hood
In candy apple red said
"Granny them varmints ain't right!"
High school girls in trouble
Vaulting from her ride in her crimson hoodie
Have no fear foaming soap bubble
Betty's part ninja but she packs a mean uzi
Bullets will fly
Sparkling blades slice nice
But nothin's gonna hurt Betty in the crimson hoodie
Riding her candy apple red car thru the hood.
