NOT FOR CONTEST There was an outlaw the bold Robin Hood He lived deep in the forest of Sherwood He thought it was funny To steal gold and money But he did it for the Poor’s greater good. The evil sheriff of Nottingham said “On a pole I want this rogue outlaw’s head” So they searched high and low He was closer than you know Fast asleep with maid Marion in bed Written 31st January 2019

The story of Robin Hood is rekindled in my memory. Love this limerick, with the inbuilt humor in it.

Tweak, tweak, brother Tom! These limericks are good! They 'deserve' to be in the contest, methinks. ---Sent from deep within Sherwood Forest :)

The one place the sheriff doesn't think to find Robin! You should enter it, Tom. I got a kick out of it. Hugs, Carolyn (And you're right that Robin seems to dominate the entries, but I've seen some on Holmes and Rumpelstiltskin as well)

Thanks Carolyn, right under the sherriffs nose lol. The one I want to enter needed a tweak but I thought I'd share this one as well. Tom.
