I love Robin and Lady Marion. So this was different than the way I am used to it. It was a good limerick.

I think it is time to rewrite the story of Robin Hood; the original was too watered down:) I love your wit, Carolyn. Hugs // paul

G'day Carolyn … nice limericks Carolyn. How things have changed from Robin Hood's days. It's take from the poor and give to the rich down here - thanks Carolyn - Lindsay

Hi Carolyn, love the content of the Limericks. Robin Hood is one of my favourites, the legendary character. My first laugh of the day. I wish I could write these but everyone is a disaster. Wishing you all the best in the contest. Have a wonderful Thursday. Hugs....Mike. XX

Imagine that! Robin Hood (and his ilk) weren't and aren't so altruistic, after all, eh?! This one is rated a 'Limerick-like' -- two thumbs up. :) gw
