ODE TO HANNAH MAY
A girl was born, on a bright sunny day, we came to know as Hannah May.
Most girls played with dolls and toys, but Hannah played in the woods like on 
of the boys.
A young man named Slim, who worked at the dairy, was the one Hannah set her 
sights to marry.
They raised three kids; two girls and a boy.  Though times were tough, they 
brought them great joy.
They worked the Balsams and made it shine, not leaving them with much free 
time.
They made the Balsams a magical place, the dwarfs and the wildlife putting a 
smile on your face.
Hannah wasn't much for cooking and sewing, spent most of her time fishing and 
bowling.
Her fishing buddy was named Ceel/ the fish they caught Slim made into a meal.
Bingo became part of her life.  Slim often wondered, "Do I still have a wife?"
Then it was baseball watched side by side.  The bets were a-flying, and the 
Tigers were a-dying.
The rest of her time she spent a-knitting, to keep socks and mittens on her 
grand kids a-fitting.
So, "Breaker, Breaker for the Rainbow" once more.  We'll remember you forever 
more.
