Pot Hole

Taxes keep rising like a balloon Ready to pop anytime soon Not something I can afford So I pray, help me good Lord! As tax collectors sing a happy tune Then one day, I am driving down the street Hit a huge pot hole, flying out of seat Where do the taxes go to? I am broke, now swearing too! The tax balloon popped at noon on my feet! Heidi Sands Placed 4th in the Tax and Finance Limerick Contest

You have reason to grumble, Heidi! Not only you have to pay taxes, but you also have to pay for damage to the car!! ~ Congratulations on your fine win. Regards // paul

I'd like to know where the tax dollars go too, Heidi. There was a radio station in NJ that would make a fuss over the pot holes and fill in one each day. Nice limerick! Thanks for supporting the contest and congratulations on your win. Have a wonderful New Year! Best wishes, Carolyn
