As my good friend Momma from the movie “The Waterboy” would say “taxes are the devil.” Well maybe she didn’t, but I would agree with her if she did. I know the tax deadline is still a month away but most of you have probably already filed, so enjoy.
Roll mental camera…
As I sit here doing my own taxes (because I am too cheap and pig headed to pay someone to do it), I realize that there must be a good poem, song or ditty in there somewhere. More than likely, if it were a song, it would be a country song. David Allen Coe has already sung the best country song of all time. (listen HERE if you don’t know the song I am referring to) I can’t compete with that. So I figured a poem would work.
ODE TO TAXES
Who demanded all the cash from my pocket
When that wasn’t enough
He dug through my stuff
But found no more and said Fiddle sticks
OK 1 more
The IRS was watching the clock
They don’t discriminate
So enjoy your time in the cell block
Alright so tax poems are corny at best. But they made me feel better about the battle I just waged. I know there are some other poets out there.
Anyone willing to share one?
A sonnet, limerick or Haiku?
How do you feel about taxes?

wow.... taxes are so not poem-worthy
P.S. - I'm unabashedly pimping my blog today (it's a guest blogger, so that's okay!). So, check it out.
5 Little Pigs
This little pig went to H&R Block
This little pig did it at home
This little pig had Turbo Tax
This little pig filed an extension
This little pig cried "no, no, no" all the way to the post office.

I liked Huckabee's plan for the IRS.
We pay somebody, we get money back, we like it.
