The Hanner

you'll never see a Hanner
carrying a banner
he's a simple unobtrusive beast

he will come out with the moon
on a sultry night in June
looking for a simple goony feast

the Hanner will not hurt you
will not frighten or molest you
but he'll steal your very favorite book

I wish I had a nickel
for every sour pickle
I hid that Hanner came and took

he is known to steal your hubcaps
your radios and roadmaps
your tires are the purest of delight

so if you think its stole
better look in Hanner's hole
'cause Hanner Moon is shining bright tonight
