Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

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!
