Where's Robin

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
