Hungry Like The Wolf

strut on a line it's discord and rhyme
i howl and i whine I'm after you
mouth is alive all running inside
and I'm hungry like the wolf

Via Tongue Tied:

An Italian school that substituted a Nativity play with a showing of Little Red Riding Hood in order to avoid offending Muslim students is drawing the ire it deserves from the Vatican and other corners of religious Italy, reports Reuters.

The public elementary school in the northern city of Treviso said that Little Red Riding Hood was a fitting representation of the struggle between good and evil and would not offend Muslim children.

Aside from the part where Little Red Riding Hood is eaten by a large unclean dog-like thing, that is.

So we could rewrite it a bit to cater to multicultural sensitivities: Let's make the wolf a ferocious jihadi, and he's captured Little Red Riding Hood and is about to saw off her head when a handsome young Marine aviator happens along and drops a 2000-pound GBU-24 laser-guided bomb, sending the jihadi to his well-deserved martyrdom.

You see? With just a little thought and effort we can make the Christmas holiday season truly inclusive for all.
