Would Robin Hood Steal a Post Office Pen to Give to the Poor?

 

“Oh, he’s so handsome, just like his reward posters!”

 

-Sis in Disney’s Robin Hood, 1973

 

I haven’t seen a reward poster in ever so long

Post-office portraits of men grizzled and mean

Each of ‘em wanted for some felonious wrong

(And living a life uncouth and unclean)

 

Maybe one of ‘em stole a post office pen

$500 or a year in prison

For committing that heinous federal sin

(He told the judge he thought it was his’n)

 

I haven’t seen a reward poster in years

(But still I’d leave that pen alone, my dears)
