I followed that cad Robyn Hood and discovered he's up to no good An expert at cheating bad mouthing and bleating His actions I've not understood Oh how awful that folks feel so glum Many now call him Robyn Hoodlum He's a raunchy thief who brought them to grief He preyed on the blind, deaf, and dumb Robyn has folks dancing like Muppets He loves to treat them like puppets He tugs at their strings and then clips their wings No wonder their confidence plummets Heard the sheriff will arrest him soon Robyn will be singing a new tune While sitting in jail He will cry and wail In sorrow for acting like a goon Sheriff found out Robyn is a girl Her real name is Antoinette Pearl Robyn Hoodlum wed Now the sheriff is dead and Robyn is engaged to an earl ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 11-01-17 Fairytale plot by Jan Allison, Marti Sutherland, and Lin Lane

I love this incredible collaboration! Like I told Lin, I liked the first and Last limericks the best, they were so funny, but the entire collaboration is hilarious, such great expression of humor and delight within the sufferings of poor Robyn Hood! I really enjoyed this incredible piece, Great Work!!
