Monkey Thief

There once was a thief from Indiana Who specialized in stealing bananas--- He was lithe and thin And moved like the wind--- In a monkey-themed yellow bandana He struck when it was least suspected Stunning each victim he selected--- Quickly in and out They had no time to shout--- Darn monkey! I'll have you dissected!
