Robin Hood's Not So Good Vacation

Sherwood Forest's were you'll see
Men are being so merry
With their leader Robin Hood
Always trying to do good
One day he made a decision
He needed a nice vacation
So he did a little packing
His excitement was not lacking
Soon he'd be in a great place
Different things he would now face
Some would be fun and unique
Like accents when people speak
Tall building and scenery 
No more of the greenery
That he always wakes up to
With a sky so pretty blue
Stores with new and fancy clothes
Not like his from days of old
Concerts, movies, and buffets
Street vendors and whacky plays
But some things he does not like
Seeing lots of people fight
Being mean and really rude
Not used to this attitude
He sends for his men so merry
Asking them if they can hurry
There's an lot they need to fix
So he pulls out all his tricks
Language that nobody's heard
Saying kind and caring words
Spreading joy and happiness
City folks not used to this
Start to glare with a bad scowl
People just want to act foul
This makes Robin feel threatened
His men and he pull out their weapons
And start shooting bows and arrows
Making a path long and narrow
Easily they can escape from
This vacations finally done
Back to his home he gladly goes
Where cheer and joy easily flows
