Karen Jones Poet Rhyme

It Was a Good Morning Till

He seems to be new and I so cool
Walk over to introduce myself
I notice a clue his polished shoes
And the badges shiny on his belt

It seems my desk was a mess
As the man had searched high and low
I'm Bob he says with the IRS
Your company's assets will be froze

In fact lady come with me
There are questions for you and news
Today was a good day indeed
For the audited IRS blues.

Christopher Delegans April 25, 2026 at 3:20 PM Thought I would drop in and check out your first poem. Very funny and engaging. Enjoyed! Karen Jones April 26, 2026 at 2:58 AM Wow! This was a blast from the past lol! Glad you enjoyed it Christopher.

Kim Rodrigues November 13, 2025 at 7:38 AM Glad it didn’t happen. Love the contrast of a shiny agent and the oncoming blues of the audited. Karen Jones November 13, 2025 at 8:20 AM Hugs

Andrea Dietrich June 27, 2025 at 10:38 AM Yikes. Did that really happen?? I thought I would start seeing your older poems since I feel caught up on your newer ones. I enjoyed this oldie. Karen Jones June 27, 2025 at 2:55 PM Yes I’m in a writer’s block plus busy with life! lol thanks Andrea and no it didn’t happen.

Kim Rodrigues August 6, 2024 at 5:21 AM What an introductory poem! Blessings ~ Kim Karen Jones August 6, 2024 at 5:24 AM Wow you went way back lol! Blessings returned and hugs Kim

Weston Gregory August 4, 2024 at 9:21 AM Do all you do, then share the proceeds, that's all they want. Nah, guess they wish to be in charge. Badge on belt almost analogous to the "obey or get a beating"... like the narrative. Karen Jones August 4, 2024 at 12:10 PM Sounds right. Thanks for liking Weston!

Randy Freie May 2, 2024 at 6:31 PM Hi Karen, great start right out of the gate. What IRS actually stands for is I'm Really Screwed. They're either coming for your money or your freedom. Karen Jones May 2, 2024 at 6:36 PM Hi Randy! Hahaha! Sometimes they take both! Thanks for stopping by!

Gershon Wolf February 28, 2024 at 7:59 PM He seemed new -- but you didn't have a clue -- until you were singing them blues. Enjoyed reading your first post, Karen. Cheers, Gershon Karen Jones February 28, 2024 at 10:32 PM Wow I didn’t recall it as my first post! You dug in and I am impressed! Lol hugs Gershon

Duke Beaufort February 28, 2024 at 11:45 AM I love how you take an everyday occurrence (hopefully not every day) and write it as poetry. It's a pleasure to read this. I believe we should write comprehensible poems, and you certainly do that! Wonderful! Karen Jones February 28, 2024 at 12:56 PM Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words! I often think less of my poems because they are about every day things; I appreciate you seeing my poems with value.

Richard Lamoureux October 4, 2023 at 8:11 AM It’s good that they are singing the blues instead of you. I enjoyed your first piece on the soup. Karen Jones October 5, 2023 at 12:44 AM Thanks for that Richard. :0)

The Situation September 25, 2023 at 6:12 PM How surprising! Karen Jones September 25, 2023 at 6:51 PM Lol Thanks for reading.

Harry Horsman October 25, 2021 at 6:55 PM This is another way of singing the blues, Karen, different too! Like it a lot. Karen Jones October 25, 2021 at 8:16 PM Glad you like it Harry!

Eve Roper October 22, 2021 at 7:57 PM Sometimes our days are like a slap in the face. enjoyed reading. Karen Jones October 22, 2021 at 9:48 PM Eve lol! Indeed. We learn to roll with the punches. Thanks for reading.

David Smith October 17, 2021 at 3:46 AM You obviously understand what poetry is about and did not over complicate and just let the words flow. Also you knew when your poem was finished. It is the same with any project, I think but technology can make one spend too much time seeking perfection. I sometimes keep adding to poems when I should have stopped. Regards David in NZ Karen Jones October 17, 2021 at 6:29 AM I am still striving to be even a good poet. Your words are kind. I too have gone beyond in some poems when passionate about a subject. But poets are allowed to embellish or at least can be forgiven lol. Thanks for believing in me. Means a lot.

John Gondolf October 8, 2021 at 3:07 AM I love this poem, Karen, as a CPA I can relate to the IRS blues. This brought a smile to my face this morning, thanks. John Karen Jones October 8, 2021 at 2:48 PM I admire CPAs you have skills I lack. Glad you smiled and thanks for reading.
