The New "Robbin'" Hood This guy I describe can have many names. He’s greedy and mean and likes to play games. I’ll just call him Robbin’ with double-b, for he is robbin’ from you and from me. It’s possible he is from a real hood. A gangster he’d be then, up to no good. Oh yes, Robbin’ Hood (a fitting name, that), who hooks kids on drugs. A scumbag, a rat! A politician Sir “Hood” could be too, who’s secretly robbin’ from me and from you. Some rich CEO who plays on his yacht with money which from the public he got. He robs from the poor and gives to the rich. Yes, he is the worst, that son of a *****. The new Robbin’ Hood who dirties this earth will find when he dies just what his soul’s worth. Written Feb. 12, 2016 for the twisted poem about Robin Hood Poetry Contest of CT

I am reading some of the comments you received and laughing from those too. This is just too good! It's apparently not easy being a decent character. There are so many ways to go bad. I don't understand it, but here it is--you've spelled it all out with such verve.

I'm so delighted to read this very creative couplet and story of yours my dear friend, Andrea. I think he is already the most abhorring Robin Hood I've ever known robbing the poor and giving them to the rich. Thank you so much for sharing! Happy Valentines Day ! love lots and big hugs, Leonora
