Hand Over the Dough

Hand Over the Dough

By Elton Camp

Just recently over in Cape Cod,
A robbery turned out very odd

Into Dunkin’ Donuts with knives
Men threatened employee lives

A paper bag the robbers took away
Thinking it filled with store’s pay

Their wisdom it’s easy to chide
They didn’t bother to look inside

But when they saw what they got
It put them into a very foolish spot

For when the truth was then told
It was a bag of donuts they stole

Now as they are waiting for a trial
The employees all wink and smile
