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 time, no fear
I.R.T. Code, present year
And then I see Volume Two

Thanks guys...just got my last W-2 in the mail, so now I can file with Arizona, Michigan, and Oregon, as well as the IRS. And you know that each state wants a copy of your federal return......this is gonna be 'fun'.

Wow, 'cat. You make money in three states? No wonder you're loaded!!  

Yep, I can remember this one from last year around tax time. It should be our tax-time anthem every year..

CTHULHU for President!!!

Um...did mine last night instead of being logged on to Passions....not that I'm saying Passions is bad, but it can be somewhat distracting when doing the advanced math some of these states require. Now I wonder if they, being the varied Treasury Departments, would allow a regular stamp with an added penny taped to the envelope.....

Ok, Nanners...ready when you are....need you W-2's, SSN, EIC Schedule, Schedule A/B, blood type, religious preference, vital statistics, odometer reading, personal library inventory, both real and ethereal, travel time and accomodations from flights of fancy, and pet(s) weight, mass, and hair color.
