The Bogie Man

Around the town he was known as the Bogie Man
Not an evil spirit my friend but a Bogart fan
Always wore a trench coat like his hero wore
On his head a fedora was also worn for sure

The falcon he owns I'm afraid isn't Maltese 
Though he's a real tough guy everyone agrees
This Bogie Man has never visited Casablanca 
Something he yearns and almost certainly hanker

I saw the Bogie Man in town just the other day
"Here's looking at you kid" is what he did say
Bogie Man around town is so easy to spot 
I wonder though is better to have and have not
