Robin Hood's Egalitarian Strand

A merry band to profer hope in the land A lute, fiddle, drum to make brigandry grand A staff, bow, arrow to strafe the noble strand A sworn oath to lawful king; a sword to gentry's overbearing hand A pruning staff to fleece corrupt shepherds, who saintly flock's fodder have panned A bow and arrow to poach servile game from royal tableland  A fealty to nature's law; a license the privileged class to brand A Kangaroo court dispensing arbitrary justice to tenured gentry in the lowland      A pauper's lease, tattered remnant to expand A squatter's right, doled penury to remand An opportunistic syndicate confiscating hoarded supplies to reduce growing demand   A marauding troop of mercenaries liberally sharing their contraband A providential broker, allocating pilfered alms poverty to withstand
