The Irs We Have Come To Hate

The IRS We Have Come To Hate

By Elton Camp

They don’t even sends forms anymore
Like they used to do in years before

Maybe it really doesn’t matter anyway
The rules get more complex every day

Take the amount from Line Thirteen
And guess correctly what it is we mean

That five dollars interest that you drew
Be sure to include in your income too

If more tax you have to pay
You must send it in right away

If it’s a refund you are due
Expect it in a month or two

If you dare try to short your Uncle Sam
You must expect him to give a body slam

It’s not that taxes I don’t want to pay
But surely there must be a better way
