Taxes and Tourists

Taxes make you real blue,
        nothing old, nothing new;

                    they bother and worry you
                               like a pebble in your shoe;


that's government's share, they say,
         upright citizens must pay

                    for congressmen's holiday,
                               Boracay, Bali, yeheeeeyyy !
