Robin Hood

There once was a man named Robin Hood known for a thief and all that was good. Lady Marian tricked to be the prize to say I do. Robin was hooked, did the best he could. Sheriff of Nottingham of Green wood, a dirty scoundrel misunderstood, claimed, he's the worst of the lot. Robin's aim went straight and shot the sheriff for lying where he stood. 1/29/2019 9,9,7,7,9 9,9,7,7,9 syllable count Poetry Contest: Limerick 3' Sponsored By: Joseph May

Congrats on your win in the contest, Eve. And a thought arises, post-contest. Robin's name for short was 'Rob.' And that's what he did! He ROBbed! Just a stray thought there... ~ gw

Good luck in the contest, my friend. I loved thinking I was Peter Pan and Robin Hood when I was a child. Both got to wear green, and had a mind of their own that outfoxed someone. A fun limerick for a Robin Hood lover - me!
