Premium Member An Unwilling Participant

I am an unwilling participant.
But it is inescapable.
An earthly evil.
Death would be preferable,
but no, it is taxes….


Premium Member Putin's Taxes

Putin is richer than rich.
Does he have to show his taxes?
Is this just a USA glitch?
Like our new sport of throwing axes?

Once was a beautiful lady
As pretty as she was crazy
Thought of as fool
Broke all the rules
Didn’t pay taxes crazy or saving

After taxes, our money's all spent.

Premium Member Running Taxes

Many returns are sent by faxes
Declaring our earnings for taxes
When they don't work it out
Please give me a shout
Next time I'll send them some laxatives

Tax Return

I received a letter from the IRS
According to them, I’ve been overly blessed
No tax return
I’ve come to learn
Will come and go, unpunished, at this address

Premium Member Tax Season

Income tax season
Is no reason
For utter despair
Pulling your hair
Shedding a tear
Out of fear
You’ll be broke --
Like most folk!

Death and Taxes

Memory kills time,
as time kills life…

Faster than a paid assassin,
colder than a dream that’s stolen

—surer than the tax man knows

(Dreamsleep: March, 2022)

TAXES

We pay taxes on 
Everything in the US
Even my cats and my dog
Pay taxes, and  they're complaining  
About how the cans and bags
Of food is half full and shrinking,

Premium Member Taxfree Scheme

There once was a gullible taxman
Who dated a rich lady named Ann
When the taxes were due
She declared I love you
Why don't we take a trip to Milan

Premium Member Death and Taxes

Unto the earth below my end commences
for I have committed life’s last offences.
  But not even death will save
    me from taxes in the grave
and now I can’t deduct living expenses!

Premium Member Death And Taxes


                      death
             inevitable, fatal 
  stopping, ending, vanishing 
 grave, skeleton, audit, ledger 
filing, demanding, calculating 
           perpetual, certain 
                      taxes

Premium Member Back Taxes

Hangovers are a back-tax on fun.

To paraphrase T.S. Eliot: 
"Can last night just belong to last night?”

I’m not thinking about sins and penance 
or making any bound-for-failure resolutions.

I’m giving myself a mental health break.

Premium Member Taxes

a man named Rob, chose to rob without cheer
              steal money to pay taxes this year
                   but, when he was caught,
                      injustice he fought
               it’s not me, but politicians to fear

Terrifying Tax Time

It’s coming, that time of the year,
to do up my taxes, I fear.
I shake with great fright
and toil through the night.
What’s owed is becoming too clear.

I regret the money I’ve spent
on food and the lights and the rent.
My cat needs a job;
a bank I may rob.
‘Twill do me no good to dissent.

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 !

Premium Member Why Would I Work

Why would I work the eight year old asked me.
So you can live the life.
To eliminate strife.
How lame do you think I am? said Josie.
I’ll get paid not working without a fee.

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!

Love Taxes

After buying into love, your receipt
has innumerable hurt charges. Some 
a little more taxing than others, and 
some are unnoticeable, making 
withdrawals from the next patronizing 
victim. 

   I've learned to pay close attention to 
the fine print for non-refundable, and
to purchase when 2 for the price of 1 
is the sale.

Fix the Streets

FIX THE STREETS

Fix the streets.
One day the people will rebel
and stop paying taxes.

Fix the streets.
No one will want to live 
here in San Diego.

Fix the streets.
One day the people
will revolt.

Fix the streets.
This is not the time
to put up with crooked politicians.

Fix the streets.
Wealthy people won't want to live here.
Fix the streets.

Noon Taxes and Juggling Cats


                            At lunch, she cried, NAOMI SEX AT NOON TAXES, I MOAN,
                                          The cat sneered and tipped over a cone,
                                                  MADAM IN EDEN, I'M ADAM,
                                                   He juggled a fig and a radish,
                                          Then fled with a grin, leaving none alone.

Premium Member Infernal Income Taxes

The mickey mouse instructions were many,

   Trying to figure tax to the penny.

      From the very beginning,

         My clueless head was spinning.

            'Twas as readable as Kazakstani!

Shout No To Taxes

Well it's all too true and all too sad 
 The government treats us really bad
 We have a voice but most won't vote
 They'd rather party on their boat
 So next time when we have our say
 Lets tell these crooks to go away
 We've put them in we can take them out
 So now's the time we all must Shout
 You're paid by the people and that is us
 Maybe it's your turn to make a fuss
 When you have no job and you have no pay
 You'll realize your TAX is not the way
