The outlaw Robin Hood,
Lived in the Forest of Sherwood.
With his band of merry men he scored,
Robbing the rich to give to the poor.

There once was a man who lived in Sherwood,
Who all the folks called Robin Hood.
He stole from the greedy,
And gave to the needy,
But would steal from the poor if he could!...

Robin Hood came flying through Sherwood transformed into a cat.
Look at that! Yelled his men. Look at Robin! I mean, look at that!
We all turned to look at this cat,, but he was too fast to actually see.
I hope he comes back soon, I said, as he landed high up in a tree....

She
drifted
in slumber,
dreaming of tales
she'd read in pages of her story book. 
Maid Marian, in love with Robin Hood.
Sherwood Forest's
Merry Men
Legend
Lore.

In Sherwood Forest Friar Tuck
Fell down a ditch where he got stuck

Astride a broken branch
And, yes, I have a hunch

He waddles now like Donald Duck!

An archer from Sherwood made shooting an art
Persuaded the wealthy from surplus to part.
He fell for a maid at first sight
But fearing to tell her outright
Enlisted friend Eros to capture her heart.

Keep hitting the reset listening unto The Pretenders, learning to crawl...
Her beautiful Christie Hyde and two thousand miles it must be, Christmas
Time for love's children our heart's were singing; as this snow was falling down ?
Joyful their colours these leaves a crown cast of autumn's bossom; his solitary sea gull....

Robin
Kind husband, vigilant father, loving son, mischievous brother
Brother of Lizard and Kippie-bombs
Lover of Kahtabeak, Danbug and Benbot
Who feels joyful, happy and satisfied
Who fears brown recluse spiders, level 4 biohazards and tsunamis
Who would like to see an end to mourning, outcry and pain
Resident of Sherwood Forest
Hood

Off the rocky Mountain cliff , I Dove
I’m flying  toward the lake like a Dove

Underwater I saw the largemouth  Bass 
Singing in soprano, alto, tenor, and Bass

To Maid Marion Queen of Sherwood , I Bow
I will bring home dinner, with my arrows and Bow 

The Adventures of Robin Hood which I just READ
There are so many great classic novels I want to Read...

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

Bandit of Sherwood

A man from the ‘hood name of Robin
Insults to the sheriff was lobbin’
     But Robin the rapper
     Got locked in the crapper
When he heard Maid Marion sobbin’

The sheriff claimed Robin of Sherwood
Was not nabbing gold for the poor’s good
     He said the thief’s power
     Raised cash for a tower
Where Marion might lose her “Maidhood”

As Robin loved Sherwood, 
we reached at dawn and remained till nightfall with you 
and we loved 

you and went home 
only to come to you anew
and roam 

to cheer 
your greener hue,   
dear.
 
As Robin loved Sherwood, 
only to come to you anew,
dear.

In the deep forest of Sherwood,
there lived an archery King,
Of Nottingham, Englands Robin Hood,
the quest of stories ring,

Whether of fact or fabled folklore,
his legendary feats are still told today:
He robbed the rich to help the poor,
as his sword and archery skills held sway,

Of real fact or of fabled folklore?
Such legendary tales are of a heroic kind,
............and what is more............
"They stand the test of time!"
