Eve Roper Poet Limerick

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.

Caren Krutsinger January 29, 2019 at 3:49 AM 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!
