Irs Business Audit

There was a madam who had a business in Shire,
In the oldest profession, she was for hire,
Alas, the tax people came,
But she didn’t think the same,
Because soon she wanted to retire.

She cried, “I have no savings; surely you jest,
Even the IRS can’t tax my breasts!
I just had them installed!
Aren’t you enthralled?
I bet you would never even guess!”

"Madam, even though your 401k,
Is in your ample breasts to stay,
I can see by your guests,
It still generates interest,
And for that you’ll have to pay!"

Hi Robert, are you taking a break from writing? Haven't seen any new poems from you in a while. Hope all is well, my friend. Thanks for stopping by and reading my tribute to Bobby Bowden. He's an incredible man! Love, Carolyn

You really have an incredible sense of humor, Robert, and I laughed so hard reading this poem. (I'm sure her breasts were "generating interest".) Congratulations on your first-place win. The competition was very strong, so take pride in your accomplishment! Love, Carolyn
