...well, you ain't seen nothin' yet

The IRS is a pain in the a**
They take your hard-won earnings
And they do it without the least bit of class
Then they spend it on all of their yearnings...

They snatch, they steal, in The Uncle Sam's name
Not a dime they so far have missed;
Though some do not know that their little game
Constitutionally shouldn't exist!

But another migraine is on the rise
Whose name I will not say
They take your stuff right before your eyes
Sometimes more than just your pay...

If they suspect that drugs you hold
They'll impound your car or your plane
Sometimes they're wrong--those stories untold;
Why they don't, it's a shame...

Beware of these giants, hurt you they can
Even though they're very corrupt
For telling you this, I'll be on the lam
For they know they've just been one-upped...

By a little purple dragon?
That's gonna be hard to believe...


"Government is not the solution to our problem.
Government IS the problem."

Clever poem! Don't worry they can't catch dragons!!

And slight is the sting of his trouble
Whose winnings are less than his worth;
For he who is honest is noble,
Whatever his fortunes or birth.~~~Alice Cary, ~Nobility~

I'm trying to hang on to my shirt
When they take that, I'm going into hiding!
Great poem

8)  *laughs*  Clever and wonderful.. I really enjoyed this.

 MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU,
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND
