Time and Tide - "For Once, King John Succeeds"

A long, long time ago

B efore there were cities, cars, and electricity, there lived a

C lever, curious, and bold outlaw known as Robin Hood

D uring harsh times in England, he stole from the rich to feed the poor, which gave him fame and

E xciting adventures with his partner, Little John

F orever, they thought they were going to live in a jungle of

G lory and legend and Robin Hood would never be replaced, but

H owever, one day, he and Little John actually did manage to get captured by none other than the

I nsane king, King

J ohn who imprisoned the outlaws and temporarily

K icked them off the Throne of Fame

L aughing at his success, John disguised himself as Robin Hood and

M ade his way back toward Nottingham as an attempt to make citizens believe that

N otorious Robin Hood had turned into a thief

“O uch! Ouch!” cried a young woman, “Robin Hood, why are you robbing me of my farthings?”

“P oor you are, my good woman!” fake Robin Hood snapped, “And poor you stay!”

Q uiver of arrows on back and bow held tightly in his hand, at the jail, Robin Hood and Little John broke out

R estless and tired prisoners begged, “Free us, too!”

S o Robin Hood and Little John did, thanks to Robin’s trusty arrowhead, and they

T urned the jail into a chaotic ghetto and led the prisoners to an

U nderground tunnel under it that took them to the forest

V ivi, a young child, lost her mother in the stampede, but

W onderful Robin Hood picked her and returned her to her mother

X marked the spot where Kind John hid, in a very obvious place

Y oung Robin Hood caught him and punished him for what he did, and in the end

Z ealous citizens of Nottingham and Sherwood Forest threw an honorable party for the return of their hero
