Taxes You Gotta Shove Em

I filled out my taxes today.
The IRS said you must pay!
    Since you're still in jail.
    Then get out on bail.
Paying's much better that way!
.
I told them just where they could shove it.
They didn't like that not one bit.
     The sun doesn't shine.
     In that place sublime.
It's right in the place where they sit!

While I was reading this, thoughts of the late Johnny Paycheck's song "Take This Job and Shove It" came to my mind. This is a good funny team of limericks.
