Poem
Twas many long years past we know, that Robin ran through forests green Robbing the rich to give to the poor, or that’s how it would seem The Sheriff set out to trap the crook known as the Robin of the hood But the Sheriff was a fool or Robin was just too good. He laid a trap of many gold coins on the personage of a woman fair Hoping Robin would steal them all and take them to his lair But Robin spied the trap and knew the Sheriff was after him He played him at his own game and approached the woman prim. Fair maid may I lighten, your load of the golden coins that I see They will help to feed the poor and one of whom is me. The lady fair looked at Robin, she sighed at his handsome good looks Pray take the gold dear Robin; it has not gone through the books Sweet maid don’t worry the Sheriff’s men, I already see Let me escort you back and of your load, you will soon be free Oh Robin of the hood, my heart you have stolen may I say Sweet maid hang on to it, you will need it another day The Sheriff wants to catch us, and there begins our plights His real aim you know is to discover where we buy our tights We know the gold is just a trap, so desperate he is to know Our tights he thinks we buy, but in fact Will Scarlet does sew The Sheriff plays a bad man, but that is just his ploy You will be safer with him, because he desires a boy When I left the castle he said that I stole his favourite maid and gold But it was really because I ran, and he found my bed was cold. 28/03/2014
