PARODY Poem: Brave Sir Robin, by Jason Ranieri

From the mountains to the valleys
We know which way our destiny runs
Follow your stars
Go on go on go on

We’re a courageous crew as ever has been
Traveling with the bravest of men
Leading us on without a fear
Galloping on with our noses in the air

We ride far thru the forest
For freedom we fight
Doing the Lord’s bidding
We are guardians of right

For glory and honor for this we live
Our lives for our kingdom is what we give
Come along, come along
Heed the call

With death knocking at our door
He hardly says a thing at all
Armed with everything he could need
A sword, a shield, and a dream

“Lay it down” he says
Yet, here we are creeping
Closer to danger and trouble
And the man begins weeping

Don’t tell, don’t tell please
As brave Sir Robin falls to his knees
I am scared, I am scared
I want to leave
When danger reared its ugly head
Brave Sir Robin turned and fled
The minstrel sang out, “You ran away!”
“No, I didn’t” was all he could say
