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.

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.

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! Best wishes, Carolyn

I have never written a limerick before. Perhaps one day. It seems many here have a lot to say about the President. ~ Brandy
