this is what i get for being honest

this is what i get for being honest...
a bill from the irs in the mail...
it always happens--it never fails...
just when you think you're getting ahead...
that's when life slaps you upside the head!

this is what i get for being honest...
i'd done my taxes but forgot a w-2...
so an amended return i thought i'd do...
they said a check for $30.00 would be on its way...
how did i know that i was going to have to pay???

this is what i get for being honest...
i owe the irs one hundred dollars & nineteen cents!
to be paid by july 15...never mind i have to pay rent!
is writing going to ever pay off in the long run???
or is this the irs's idea of having their fun???
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

happy birthday to me...i'm sorry, y'all. i'm just mad and disgusted right now...i'm sorry i'm dumping on y'all...i just need to vent. i'm tired of struggling and not getting ahead...please, y'all, keep me in your prayers...i need them more than anything!! (((HUGS))) love, karla. PS--thanks for all your kind support of my work. y'all are the best!! :)
