The Worst Morning After

Thursday morning I received an urgent letter from the Internal Revenue....it said I had to pay back my refund or they would garnish my wages; there's much confusion about the new exemption laws, but the money is due by July the twenty fourth, or I would be charged more fees and interest. Wasn't it the tax preparer fault for the avoidable error? I am not going for a tax audit, I will send them any amount I can and pay the rest in monthly installments by tightening my belt even more; it's harder than fighting City Hall! I'll have to pay for having had that ball...no refund on items bought! I'll look forward to a zero refund in late February, or possibly in May; they'll keep everything I'll claim...many things I have to give up: no dinners at restaurants; no trendy clothes: I must settle for home cooking and avoid movies on demand!
