Notes About The Poem

Bandit of Sherwood

Bandit of Sherwood

A man from the ‘hood name of Robin
Insults to the sheriff was lobbin’
     But Robin the rapper
     Got locked in the crapper
When he heard Maid Marion sobbin’

The sheriff claimed Robin of Sherwood
Was not nabbing gold for the poor’s good
     He said the thief’s power
     Raised cash for a tower
Where Marion might lose her “Maidhood”

Paul Callus February 1, 2019 at 10:43 AM 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
