Robinhood Poem by mark littler

Sir Arrow Green
Thief Stealer
incognito as Hinderstoop
old want woman, a bag
a charcoal keeper
bowstring travelling
line counter ears and Christophers

Sir Green claims to be a gentleman Tanner
claims to honeyrights from Ox Hive
Merry Bee Men in Waggle ranks
around their Bee King
Society outside Society


Sir Green robbing Romance
Drugged out of a white sleep locked drawn in an overseas cloister
-as the tale is told - some Nun from some obit ended Royal house
gives her ring to someone

He has that Ring and the Finger
sheeps tail upon it

Wither skins
Lordy Minstrel Scarlett hanging for his maker from wode wood Oak
Lordy friar down tips Scarlett's pointed toes
No Courtesy
Lute Caput

Plowman Pater Noster in the Pork
Lick crack sauce colour shifts Saxon Gospel over ends
unletters in kellish twists of sow et serpent

This is a New Age
There is present cruelty in a Particlothed Jester
Here is the trick
Cut off your head
Walk with your head
Do it well and Funny a relic ahead abbey will be history in this wild

Guisers

Marian wears Meg's wide Flag trousers
Meg wears Marian's Red blaine armour
Another Jack deceives as Biggins flap farmers wife and her fist baby
To be churched and take all the Silver
