Letter To the Taxman

LETTER   TO   THE    TAXMAN


We have to give too much in tax payment.               
I suppose you don’t  find it funny but  I meant
Taxes  in Texas  seems  like a double entendre,
Or suppose I signed myself  the Nevada  Evader.
Everybody’s in trouble because of tax  and you.
IOWA   may soon become known as   IOU,
Missouri may become the   OWE  ME   state.
When  DC  reaches for a statehood date
It’s nickname  should  be   PAY  ME. 
Now,  I know that nothing comes free 
But have patience with me please:
I want to pay you,  but it don’t grow on trees.
My savings box contains  nix-to-the-max.
Now, maybe a  sly  fox  could fix his return with a fax,
Or put a hex on your  lox, with his bad behavior  lax,
But I simply send you no money,  and  I want   pax. 
Please allow me deductions for my dress-code mix  -
Though wearing  a tux might vex the collector of  tax,
I might be simply seem a figure of wax.
P.S.  I like sex wearing six sox while playing the  sax.

The nicknames you came up with for the states and DC were hysterically funny, Syd. Congratulations on your second-place win. The competition was very strong, so take pride in your accomplishment! Love, Carolyn

Ha-ha. I think DC should be called the Pay Me state, even if it's not a state now. All the other states will be IOUs or OWE ME states. Very funny Sydney. Good luck in the contest, Diane
