   then we would bait...

The Tax Man Picks My Pocket
By Rick Rucker

The Tax Man regularly picks my pocket,
If I don’t go along with that, I’m on the court docket!

How much more would I have had in Life,
Without Taxes, and their strife?

A quarter of my income taken,
My faith in Mankind...

Two grams of rice, which boiled in bucket water, 
It should be eaten only by  chopsticks.
But be a modest, eat this no more, than quarter!...

uncle sam took a moment to sit down
at the diner counter & shove a couple more
doughnuts down his gullet,

My remote control taunts my mortal sloth
Pale light pulses, pulling me like a moth
Such a vast plethora beckoning me
Urging to decide what I long to see

I’ve got cop dramas to test my mettle
Cooking shows to inspire my kettle
Sporting events to tackle my spare time

It is a sacred game of life
Sprinkle a hue and you are fine
It is a sacred game of life
Sprinkle a hue , gone is your shine
Who will sprinkle and on whom?
Its your own deeds that will choose

It is a tricky game of life
Enter...

For God wants what is best,
