Incarcerated

He cut some corners when filing his tax
Now poor man is going in for the  max
He got nailed
Cant get bailed
Of appeals his lawyers now have stacks
    


For Carolyn's contest

Dear LNC, please bring scissors and help me cut corners. That way other taxpayers can support me while I serve time in jail. LOL Congratulations on your win. The competition was very strong, so take pride in your accomplishment! Love, Carolyn

If he can't get bailed we'll be supporting him the rest of his life. It sounds like a good way to avoid taxes to me. Good luck in the contest, Diane
