to add to the fisc

My haiku today brought to mind Robin Hood, which came to the silver screen in 1908! I found this incredible list of Robin Hood movies... possibly the most adaptations of any story? The legend dates back to the 15th century, and future adaptations are still being planned... remarkable!

So, who are the Robin Hoods of today? There is an organization in New York called the Robin Hood Foundation that is very effective. Who else?

DEFINITION of this 1-syllable noun:

a royal or state treasury; exchequer.

So that's where "fiscal" comes from!
