Joseph May Poet Quatrain

Robin Hood

In Sherwood forest where big oaks grow
There lives  a band of outlaws
They roam the forest with their  long bows
With arrows ready to draw

 In an attempt to put the rebels in a jam
  A lawman comes  up with a plan
He is the sheriff of Nottingham
And he has kidnapped maid Marian

This news quickly spread to Robin Hood
The leader of this outlaw band
 He fights for justice and for good
Her freedom he demands

But the sheriff refuses to let her go
 Until Robin Hood gives up
 But Robin replies with a resounding no
 Cause he drinks from victory's cup

Then Robin's men surround the place
Where Maid Marian is being held
The sheriff and his lawmen brace
for battle, but they will soon be felled

Then arrows fly as lawmen fall
And maid Marian is soon rescued
And Robin Hood now stands tall
The hero from the forest of Sherwood
