Poem Artwork



Taxes paid,

Didn't need an IRS raid,

Another year of pain,

Nothing seen but rain,

Hope the future is no strain…

 

Check is in the mail,

Moved about by a snail,

Not enough to pay,

Ridden out on a rail…

 

Refund sent,

Heavens bent,

Donations to the bottle,

Keep your hand off that throttle,

Life is full of little torments…

Taxes sir Ed are the foundation of all that is right and wrong in this world. It is spent for evil as well as good. However, evil seems to prevail these days.

Ain't it the truth. We pay taxes only to die with less than we had at birth. I guess our footprints that so many taught are actually the returns we leave behind and heaven forbid if we aren't caught up by the time we die.
It's brutal.
