ABC Wednesday -- H = Hammer Time


It's ABC Wednesday again, and this week, the letter is H.

That means it's HAMMER time!

"If I had a HAMMER



I'd HAMMER in the morning



I'd HAMMER in the evening



All over this land



I'd HAMMER out danger



I'd HAMMER out a warning



I'd HAMMER out love between my brothers and my sisters



All over this land"



words by Lee Hays and Pete Seeger

Check out my post tomorrow, to learn the HISTORY and HERITAGE of this HAMMER. How it came into my HANDS. HOW come it HOLDS an HONORED place in my HEART.

HERE is a HINT. It used to belong to my Dad.
