Verse And Worse

Random Wit, Errant Rhyme. Not A Literary Crime

Robin Hood snored on the arm of Maid Marian
His breath was a-tremble with the stale whiff of carrion
He’d quaffed many ales and feasted on venison
Now his good lady’s eyes were ever so menacin'

That sounds entirely plausible...

I couldn't agree more with Muthering Heights! Sounds entirely plausible

She was cranky and unreasonable
About her lover who smelled unseasonable.
So she washed him and scrubbed him
And put him in the sum
And said, "Stay away, Stinky Robin, 'til the stink is done."

Nothing like taking the romance out of a perfectly good legend! ;)
Of course, given medieval hygiene, I doubt our Maid Marian was any too fresh herself.

Robin Hood rested on the arm of Maid Marian.
She was plain for a princess,
but not a librarian.
He quaffed many ales and to his surprise,
her beauty returned to his
unfocused eyes.

Ha ha! I enjoyed your use of "menacin'." Very cute. I am fond of apostrophes in lieu of letters...when placed correctly, of course.
