Poem

To take the "standard deduction"
means throwing away every gift to goodwill
It means that you never spent hundreds on glasses
or saved your receipts from each blue little pill
It means that the trip that you took late last fall
securing connections for business demands
while your wife and kid sat at home half complete
becomes liquid losses escaping your hands
It means that each mile you penciled on notebooks
and kept rubber banded in dark glove compartments
might as well say: "Hey!  You spent countless hours
on pointless arrivals and black hole departments!"
It means that your charges of finance are hollow
and every bill that you paid is still owed
It tangles and grows up in weeds of employment
so you never reap the deductions you sowed.
To take the "standard deduction"
pulls your portfolio out of unique
It means that you flow like the drudge of the masses
and never quite manage to climb to the peak
It means that your taxes will never be paid
and all of your life you will owe
and every bit of your saved IRA
flatly refuses to grow.
It blows every wish of a refund to wind
and keeps the river of finance in sync
but still you will find me there taking the "standard"
as long as I'm filed by April 15th.
