A Letter From the Irs

The mailman brought notice today
from Service the letter did say
more money you owe
so send us the dough
your taxes past due you must pay.

With Congress in maddening stall
and government shut down appall
I'm seeing bright red
the letter it said
funds needed to build Donald's wall.

Sigrid Ermine Date: 8/3/2020 1:37:00 AM Very nicely brought together. Excellent lymerick, sorriful Christmas prospect! I have been scrolling through your terrific catalogue of work, thought I'd comment on a poem or two with only a couple of comments, a dissonance where they're concerned.

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 12/31/2018 3:08:00 PM Your limerick is terrific, John. Funding for the wall seems to be the stumbling block as some federal workers have interrupted income. Some of the competition in the contest was incredible. I have some garnet earrings that would match your wife's pendant, so stay tuned for the next contest before Valentine's Day. Congratulations on a second-place win in my contest. Have a wonderful New Year!
