Wolf at the door

There's a wolf at the door.
He looks scary, but thin.
Is he hungry, big brother?
Should we let him in?

"My dear brother, wee piggy,
That would spell out the end.
This wolf wants to eat us.
He is not our friend!"

"Hello? Little piggies?
Won't you open the door?
I'm so cold standing out here
Upon this hard floor..."

Can't we, please, older brother?
That wolf means no harm.
He's just lonely and frightened.
No cause for alarm...

"But my brother, remember,
This happened before,
When he knocked at the entrance
To your house of straw"

"Hello piggies? Nice piggies.
Let me in from this storm.
I won't growl, bark or bite...
I just want to get warm"

Older brother, I know
That I ran like a mouse
To your place, when he blew off
The door to my house...

"So then why, little brother,
Should we let him in?
I know better than you.
I have hairs on my chin!"

"Little pigs? Little pigs?
Can you just help me out?
I'm a harmless young wolf.
What's this fuss all about?"

You see, brother? He's harmless.
I'm going to greet him.
"Oh no you don't, laddie..."
"But I'm not going to eat him!"

"Too right you're not, shit face.
You're not coming in!
I am older and smarter,
With hairs on my chin!"

"Then stand back, little fuckers.
That door's coming off.
I'm having roast pork for lunch.
As much as I can scoff!"

Should we run, older brother?
"Here's Wolfy!!" Crash. Thud.
"Yes I think so, wee brother.
Yes I think that we should!"

"You cannot outrun me,
In my mouth you belong.
I have lunch on my mind
And my legs are quite strong!"

"Who's there? Oh, come in!
Why do you both look pale?"

"Lock the door. Lock the door!
There's a wolf on our trail!"

Bang bang bang. "Little pigs?
You can't hide here forever.
I'll leave you for now...
But I'll get you. I'm clever!"

"Now you see, little brother?
Why we don't take in strangers?
They're crafty and cunning,
And bring many dangers."

"You should both stay the night.
I'll cook something good.
It's not safe, not tonight.
Not in this neighbourhood."

There's a wolf at the door.
He looks friendly, not rude.
Oh dear brothers of mine,
Should we cook extra food?
