He Gave His Job the Ax

My charming husband hails from Halifax Where they make the world’s finest beeswax For years he worked preparing income tax Wearing a suit and tie with neatly pressed slacks He would take care of details including sales tax Correspond with clients usually by phone or by fax The day he retired he reached an all-time climax I proposed he start to learn to play the sax But he says he loves to chill and just relax AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on February 23, 2018

I like everything about it! Especially the " beeswax" and "climax." Words I would have not thought of, yet they are perfect. Great monorhyme, Line.
