Robin Hood

Robin Hood


The Boys from the Hood are always hard...Robin laughs in mockery,
  for he is the thief among thieves, swift, hard, so intelligently...
   A lifestyle for most buried in the Hood, 23 square blocks of misery,
    but not for he, oh know Mr. Hood takes pleasure in using this as...
     as his... Metaphorical hideout tree...In bad company...King Thief...
      Here amongst the derelicts, addicts, gangs, and overall bad men,
        he is an Omen, an unlucky out of place casuality of urban demographics.
He is sly, so sly like the fox, letting all of the immoral degenerates around him
 get blamed for all of his bad stuff, all of his illegal escapades they take the blame.
  Why? Because he is the King Thief, a thief without greed for he feeds who needs.
   So people here hold him in reverie, like a King, but just a thief with a good plan,
    he understands what others can't comprehend...He has a plan...And many fans...
     Robin Mr. Original Boy in the Hood, he took it all just because he could,
      leaving the rest of the Boys from the Hood to think that they're hard...

Good morning Brian, I like your take on the Robin Hood contest. Makes me want to rewrite my entry. This Robin's a sly one, you gave him a different perspective. I hope you score high in Chase's contest. Always *Linda*
