Archer of the Forest

Deep in the forest
Outlaws lie in wait
For well off noblemen
Their monies to take
 
They steal from the rich
And share with the poor
How long can they hide
In their forest so pure
 
This band of commoners
Go against the grain
The Sheriff of Nottingham
To have them slain
 
The followers who follow
These outlaws so bold
To introduce them
Your about to be told
 
There's Little Joan
A girl so large
She bowls men over
With the strength of her charge
 
Then there's Touch
The Miller's daughter
Who keeps doing things
She shouldn't off aught to
 
Willena Scarlet
Demanded clothing and a horse
If this never happened
Her language became coarse
 
Not forgetting
Nena the nun
Whose amazing beauty
Made the enemy run
 
And the last of the gang
Butler Bill
Whose amazing weaponry
Made this leader shrill
 
You've met her gang
Now meet their leader
She's Robyn Hood
An out and out heart bleeder
 
Dressed in black leathers
Low cut front
Cleavage guys die for
Which makes them grunt
 
It's not the poem
You thought it was
But why the change
Och, just because

Awesome the way you changed the sexes of the Robin Hood characters. It added quite a feminist appeal to the story. As you know, I've researched Robin Hood and some believe he was based on a real character with a slightly different name. Will (ene) Scarlett is usually regarded as Robin's nephew or cousin, but in the Costner movie, he was Robin's half brother. Totally absorbing read! Love, Carolyn
