Heroic Hank and the Missing Eggroll
Heroic Hank was quite a fellow
Although he was far from mellow
He cracked cases far and wide
He dusted prints and even spied!
But nothing, nothing, beats the case
Of what Hank calls the "eggroll race"
Now Chung's Chinese was quite the spot
Their food was fresh and spicy hot
But theft occurred one dreary night
A thief broke in with all his might
He broke into this place of food
(at least he wasn't in the nude!)
He looked around and then he saw
An eggroll, and he was in awe
He put it in a burlap sack
And then he snuck out through the back
Heroic Hank was called to the job
And he was followed by an angry mob
How someone could commit such a vicious crime
Was unimaginable to the average mind!
But Heroic Hank was used to this
And so he set out to find the eggroll that was so missed
Hank searched high and Hank searched low
In the sewer, Hank did go
But he finally caught on to a clue
A bit of cabbage stuck to his shoe!
Ah-ha! he said, I'm on to you!
For this bit of cabbage stuck to my shoe
Tell's me where this thief could be
He's hiding in a hemlock tree!
Hank was right and so he caught
That mean old thief who hadn't thought
About how important the eggroll was
And how the city had acquired an ugly buzz
I'm sorry, said the thief, in spite
Of the crime he'd committed that dreary night
It's okay, Hank said with glee
Everyone makes mistakes you see!
But do not fret and do not frown
Just apologize to the entire town!
And so he did and the eggroll was okay
And Heroic Hank saved the day

Heroic Hank must have impeccable deductive skills...I don't know how he figured that cabbage on his shoe would led him to finding the thief in a Hemlock Tree! If that's detective work, I'd make one crappy sleuth. I guess that's why he's called Heroic Hank and why I'm not called Heroic Julia.
