Poetry: Taxes

by Stewart Richmond

Created on: April 18, 2008

The curse between cradle and grave
Afflicts both the timid and brave

You can forget your diseases,
Coughs sneezes and wheezes

You can slam the front door
On pestilence 'n' war

It isn't pollution
Or the final solution

(Look over your shoulder)

It's the man with the ax
Collecting your tax!
