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.

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!
