Jack's Lack

There once was a slap happy grifter
Who had his tax bills sent to his sister
His cause it was lame
He just played the game
But, the IRS KNEW this Mister!

This man Jack, he was, world renown
The government thought him a clown
They saw under his “skirt”
NO they did not flirt!
They threw him in jail WAY uptown.

Poor Jack. Got slapped by ' The Man" Nice bit of comic relief in this one. As to your request, I have already placed an entry in your contest about a misguided fish who eats his friends...................In retrospect maybe it wasn't the most kid friendly limerick.

I'm an anarchist at heart if it ever comes to "food or taxes" guess where my pennies will go? [if they'd LET me decide where my taxes went I wouldn't mind!]

Deb, you have two impressive limericks here. Just one question: In the last line of the first limerick, did you miss the "k" key on your keyboard when you typed in "NEW"?
