Notes About The Poem

A Twist To Robin Hood and His Men Wear Green Spandex

The ground was blanketed with fallen leaves
that crunched under their feet as they ducked
into the bushes and secluded spots behind thick trees
The forest was their domain the comforts of life
as fugitives in hiding they could survive,
it beat capture  and torture.

Emerging on the path came eight horses
with their riders trotting into view
Robin Hood and the others emerged from hiding
knowing they will not be eager to surrender

As the sun starts melting into the horizon bringing in the twilight
Robin Hood and his men knew they were in danger

Why did he feel like he was totally kidding himself?

Jumbling and stumbling they start to dwarf
Their voices had evolved from bass and baritones to tenors
Avoiding getting caught they all backed away and scattered
Bidding the riders farewell, then departing
