Render Unto the Irs - Bah Humbug

The Holiday Season has come and gone.

   Bank balance for that spree is overdrawn.

      Now I'm feeling mighty glum.

         Since Sam wants a hefty sum,

            The house and my dog I may have to pawn!

Isn't that the truth! We dread seeing our house go up in value because that means our taxes do too! A great Limerick you have created Robert! Happy Holidays my friend! : ) xxoo
