Frank E Gibbard Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 It was a time of derring-do if Robin Hood you do What Robin Hood will do. Robbing rich, give to The poor. Bring down that Sheriff that’s for sure. Sherwood Forest was his manor the hood of them Days where he would plan the latest heist beyond The Law but in the name of Christ. Gang chaplain Friar Tuck dignified the outlaws, this merry bunch, Whilst there’s hock to sustain plus meats to munch; Lived lustily - true to his habit - always out to lunch. Rob gave up some, but not too much, made Marian Keep in regular touch, they exchanged love’s tokens And such around the bush.. mm perhaps an analogy One shouldn’t push. Things more innocent then like Popes, straight as their arrows, may God be praised! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcmarti1 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Loved that pushed analogy. :) Bunch, munch, lunch - loved them. Oh, and a clever title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee thanks Marti it's great when the jokes hit the target so to speak. Did you get the innocent link with Popes by the way? It's an RC thing, I'm lapsed Catholic myself but taught Apologetics by priests - on a point of information Pope Innocent VIII (1484-92) sired eight illegitimate sons, not very innocent then.

dcmarti1 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I do know of some popes named Innocent but the line went right past me! :) I do remember that an Innocent (# something) was Pope during King John's reign, only because of the Shakespeare play. Cheeky bounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatekeeper Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 "gang chaplain Friar Tuck" Good one! Being ex-RC, I find laughable, the whole "Pope business", if not so sad. Quote from the black desert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
