The Last Day Tax Filer

The Last Day Tax Filer

By Elton Camp

You’ve done it this year again
Let’s see that sheepish grin 

In February you were gonna do it
Somehow never got around to it

And another fact that you now rue
You knew a refund sure to be due

“I should do it today,” you said
But Facebook needed to be read

Besides, the deadline’s far away
So you plan to file on another day

A series of excuses like these 
Now it’s the sword of Damocles 

Above your head by a single hair
To wait any longer you don’t dare

So read complex directions galore
Until you can’t stand it anymore

Follow what I always do
It’s TurboTax to the rescue

Just hope you don’t have to frown
By finding that your WiFi’s down
