Robin Hood - Contest

Robin Hood was bored this day Heard the sheriff was passing his way Collecting taxes from the poor Many would be starving but they knew the score Pay up and shut up, would listen to no pleas Robin hid his merry men amongst the trees The mighty sheriff he would tease Put a rope across the pathway Now was the sheriff's time to pay Shh I hear the horses coming Marian laid down as though she was sunning The sheriff reigned his horse in fast Nearly running over the comely lass Robin's maid thinks he, his chance at last "Why sheriff", she said her eyes a twinkling "How can I rise from here was thinking" Down jumped the sheriff dismissing his men Naughty thoughts he was thinking then Took off his jacket his pants were to follow When he heard a noise from the hollow Was Robin tittering the sight too hard to swallow The sheriff showing his pale white thighs Brought tears of laughter to his eyes The sheriff was aroused by his demise Before looking up into Robin's eyes Grabbed for his sword but was on the ground Woods ringing of laughter all around Sheriff knowing he looked like a clown Out came the merry men the sight to see A sheriff looking embarrassed needing a wee "What do you want Robin" he said at last "Return without any money, this year No Tax". He had to agree no option to take So back to Nottingham the king to face Swearing his men to secrecy said "no tax at this place". Form rhyme royal. Two couplets and a tercet.
