Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

Luxury Tax

Luke was asked to pay a luxury tax
Or else the clerk would confiscate his sax
  On the verge of fury
  Luke chilled, said, 'Don't worry'
'That sax? ~ merely a harmless, blunt-edge axe

Sotto Poet March 22, 2022 at 3:32 PM Gershon, you did an outstanding job with Limerick. I'm assuming that the tax collector resigned freely. Haha... Gershon Wolf March 23, 2022 at 8:30 PM If the tax collector did not resign freely, Lasaad, then I imagine his head will be on 'the chopping block.' ~ The Executioner

L Milton Hankins March 21, 2022 at 8:45 PM (still laughing!) Good one, gw. I suppose the tax collector backed off on that one... hopefully not on the edge! Gershon Wolf March 22, 2022 at 6:09 PM I sure hope the tax collector backed off, Milt. If not, he's on the edge... the 'razor's edge!' ~ Gershon
