It's that time of year and oh boy! What a mess.
I just got a letter from the IRS.
It's time to do taxes, so what shall it be?
Do I get a refund, or do they get more from me?
*
It just isn't fair! There's just too much tension.
I paid tax all my life. Now, they tax my pension!
Social Security was taken each week,
From the wages I made, which always seemed bleak.
*
"The tax man doth cometh!" as so it's been said.
If he takes any more, I might just see red.
I'll storm their old building then I'll start to wail.
My temper might land me in county jail!
*
But hey! who'd complain - and no one could fault me.
If I am in jail, THEY'LL HAVE TO SUPPORT ME!
