There must be some reason why Robin Hood,
The King of Outlaws is remembered still.
Though he had no respect for legalhood
For his men the law was his every will.
Though many legends does his name unfold,
The “Golden Arrow” one is most famous.
The Prince of Thieves, as he was often called,
Said to his seven score merry men thus:
“The Nottingham Sheriff I do care not.
My writ runs large in the Sherwood Forest.
I rob the rich in order that I do,
For poor people, what’s in their interest best”.
That’s why he was the hero of his day,
And continues as such even today.
