He Knows Just How It Is DoneA Poem by Elton CampBut guess how he learned it.He Knows Just How It Is Done By Elton Camp From café tip, a boy did what he shouldn’t oughter He picked up and proceeded to swallow a quarter His father, in a panic, the choking boy tried to help While, desperately for assistance, he began to yelp A man at the next table, calmly the boy did take Held him by his feet and began to violently shake Quarter fell out and clanged right down to the floor The man put it in his pocket & started out the door But before the man the exit could get through Father: “Thank you! How’d you know what to do?” “I am an expert at shaking out money, it’s true. Because I work in collections for Internal Revenue.”
