Robin Hood’s shaft cuts
air, shreds bark … just to huckster
“new” Wildroot Cream-Oil
Author notes
I just bought CDs of "The Adventures of Robin Hood," with Richard Greene (the one and only true RH), which I watched as a 10-year-old. They brought back memories, not the least being the anti-climactic commercials tacked on and both front and back.

Sometimes those old commercials are more fun to watch than the shows themselves. I know at one time a cable TV station here was broadcasting a lot of these old TV shows with the commercials of the era--But I guess they realized they were losing out on modern-day advertisement $$$, so no more Bryllcreme and Chock-Full-of-Nuts heavenly coffee commercials!
Really like that you brought a sense of both the old TV show and commercial ad by these three lines, Micol. Thank you so much for this entry to the contest!
