                                     Robin

Lives in Sherwood Forest where he
Hears about the archery contest,
Sees the evil sheriff as an enemy,
Touches the hearts of many,
Needs to avoid getting caught,
Fears nothing,
Gives money to the poor,
Wonders about the good in people,
Dreams about maid Marian,
Believes everything will go his way,
Loves the feel of a bow in his hands
