Internal Necrolexicon Each year brings another box Deeply bound with glassine locks Shivers racing up my spine As I hear my youngest whine "No mail for me? Poo!" "Angel, this one's for you." Greed overcomes her rant Ripping the tape with nary a pant Averting my eyes, I hear the scream Look to see greasy steam Mayhaps I'm mad as a Hatter But the box seems a little fatter Fearfully I open the box wide Seeing the book nestled inside Instructions For Sacrifice For You Edited by Cthulhu "But I gave last year!!!" Doesn't matter, have a beer And think of what to tell the wife About Angel and her end of life Terminal Greed, it could work I never liked the little dork Messing and whining and carrying on I'd just as soon have all of em gone But, I need them this time of year Standardized Deductions, sign here Open the cover, start to read Mind slipping, nose bleeds Insanity coming as each page turns Brain fodder for albino worms Madness and understanding link I UNDERSTAND IT, I think I'll have this done in no time Internal Revenue Tax Code for 99 And then I see Volume Two Also edited by Cthulhu Alicat, le Persnikitty Jongleur Aspirante  As I sit here dimly thinking Watching modem lights a-blinking Churning out poetic hash. Lord, in all Your piety, Help me keep my sanity: Please don't let the modem crash! --Alicat |

A ROFLMAO for you too Ali!!! I don't envy those of you who have 'real" taxes to do!!! Being single, having no kids and owning nothing, mine are easy. The gov't gets EVERYTHING! BTW- Loved the inclusion of Chtulu! |

Thanks guys.  Christopher: If is wasn't for one little stock sale that I had to do for extra cash, I could've gone the EZ route as well. As it were, I had to go with a 1040 and a Schedule D. Good thing I learned a little about filing from my good old Tax Practitioner Dad.  Alicat |

LMAO Did Jesus laugh? I think He did, 'cause He was once a little kid; and all of us were made with joy both sugar-spice girl and snake-snail boy! |

And I thought a retired life would mean a simpler tax form! WRONG. Now have extra forms to do. Should I pay taxes on social security. Have to compute the IRA. And your poem reminded me I better start now!!  |

Hey, Alicat! Just follow this simple, small instruction.... Make EVERYTHING a tax deduction! Your dog, your cat, your bird and such, Your girlfriend if she eats too much, Those gallons of scotch, rye and gin You have to drink (they're medicine) Those Hooter's luncheons (chicken wings) So you can keep abreast of things, All the poets on this sight That keep you writing day and night, The bugs that chew your shirts and socks, Plus medicare for your pet rocks... The IRS will understand... Just do it from a foreign land!!!! |

LMAO! I pay someone to do 'em ...  --Kess Full fathom five thy father lies, Of his bones are coral made, Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange... --William Shakespeare, from The Tempest |

Hehehehe...thanks guys for all the great responses.  Nan, I'd be very afraid to say that...since I'm an under-30's, single, white male, they would probably leave me being only under-30, single and white. Balladeer, loved the little ditty. PDV...I'm with ya on this one babe..just let me get some sugar and a Big-Ass swizzle stick. |
