MEET THE TAX MAN

A devious insurance man named 
Max, became a billionaire,
Many moons ago, was only known 
As a millionaire,
Now in express mode to become 
A trillionaire,
An innocuous looking man knocked
On this billionaire’s
Door, said he was a Tax Officer who 
Dealt with non-payment of taxes,
Being a bit of a nerd, the rich man
Immediately collapses,
The taxman asked, do you know 
Why I’m here,
No, but it is to do with 
My money I fear,
Seems you don’t understand,
Take my advice, stop thinking of 
It as your money, it is now ours.
For on your tax returns we have
Spent months days and hours.

I've never met anyone who's told me they're a taxman, I wonder why that is. Mind you, I'd be asking for the dodges.

Oh yes the tax man will take what is his and what is his is whatever he says is his! Makes me glad I'm not a billionaire~

So easy to deceive people to become rich and then die, leaving everything behind him. Too many such fools around.

The tax man has come straight to his point. Again there is no room for argument or pleading. Tax collectors are a threat to millionaires. An interesting poem with a serious content, but dealt in a light hearted manner. Enjoyed reading it.

I value the cleverness and underlying message in this piece. The poem provides a savvy and hysterical take on the intricate relationship among assets, authority, and taxation. The tale skillfully highlights the predatory practices of financial companies through a shrewdly crafted chart involving a cunning tax auditor and a wealthy man

Hello my friend, I love the humour and underlying message here.. It presents a witty and satirical take on the dynamics of wealth, power, and taxation. Through a clever narrative involving a devious tax officer and a billionaire named Max and highlights the absurdity and sometimes predatory nature of financial systems.
