here's a story, but not from a fairy tale
so sad that it raises an animal's tail
it was told that robin hood robs from the rich and gives to the poor
what do you say when you have a robin hood that robs someone in front of his son that is four
there are many robin hoods that live in the hood
who extends from one neighborhood all the way to the neck of the wood
they say rob the rich and give it to the poor, but what do u say when robin robs from the poor
who does he give it to, someone that is near dead on the floor
robin commits crime through the city that never sleeps call ignorance
people like robin needs to be put away call deliverance
watch out for robin-ROB robs IN the HOOD

jwiener

The play on words was great in this poem, making the name Robin Hood connect to "robbing in the hood." Also, I liked how you automatically brought the poem into reality by making sure that the reader knows you are not talking about a fairy tale, but rather what happens in real, everyday life.
