With a heavy heart,

I begin my poem.

For it's about a subject,

out of the norm.

So, how does one

write poetry about tax?

I'm sure it's hard,

so I have one question to ask.

Is there anything good about tax time?

As you go down your 1040 line by line.

Exemptions and deductions,

and thousands of instructions.

All of it just boggles my mind.

And I'm being really, really kind!

But taxes are a part,

of life as we know it.

Just like our government

finds ways to blow it.
