Infernal Revenue

RING RING...Hello IRS ... 

What's your take on a dependant child? 
My boys 40, ain't worked in a while! 
I got 8 more kids inside da house,
the boys bride and my second spouse.

First ran off with a traveling man, 
Raising her kids best I can, 
Calling to ask if this is true? 
Lost my job!... Can I.O.U.?

Internally, infernally, they have no heart. They thought they had heart burn, but it was only a fart. So good luck to you when they knock on your door. Cause the IRS I know just always wants more. Loved your poem Judy. Peace. P.S. Sorry for the acerbic interjection. :)
