THE MARIAN KIND

Inspired by the painting “The Kiss” by Francesco Hayez

They called him Robin back in the ‘hood.
He tried to do all the good he could.
Wore bird feathers in his beige velvet cap.
The homeboys made fun and gave him…a hard time.

Robin had Maid Marian in his nest.
She had so outsnuggled all the rest.
He fell for her like a duck in season.
She warmed his worm with huggin’ and squeezin’.

One night when Robin was facing a hassle,
caught in the Sheriff of Nottingham’s castle,
Marian mounted an escape for them both.
Robin took her aside and right then pledged his troth.

While Sheriff and soldiers pursued them down halls,
Robin and Marian hid behind castle walls.
Just before their last scramble to give all a miss,
Robin held her tightly and planted a kiss.

Thus was their lovers’ pact and their fate sealed.
They ran up a stairway and out to a field.
He held her hand as they ran off to freedom
where, with children in mind, they commenced to breed ’em.
