Notes About The Poem

image from Hope at pinterest.com

poem written just because today is the deadline with the IRS for filing one's taxes

TAX FREE

A sly squirrel peddled bright tulips with glee,  
But his cash stash was shady as can be.  
  The IRS came—what a fright!
  He buried his bucks overnight,
Now he’s rich… in acorns, tax-free!
