Win-Win

If we throw the politicians

Into the holy volcano of K’raxx’iss

We’ll either ensure a bountiful harvest

Or pay a lot less in taxes.

Where Do The Colonists Sign Up?

So when you die the tax man comes

To take of your estate

While you pay tax on a hospital bill,

Pine box, and granite slate,

Then wear taxed clothes to the funeral.

You’ll arrive in taxed-gas powered cars

Which is why I will die as an astronaut:

‘Cause there’s no taxes yet on Mars.

Really? No Takers?

If you’re not in a haste

To reduce government waste

I invite you to pay

Extra taxes today

Off The Grid

The government is playing Yahtzee

Except instead of rolling dice

They get to place the dice face-up

However they think is nice.

Meanwhile, they make us roll our dice

And tell them what we rolled

Even though they already watched us

And take half our score ‘til we fold.

Playing Yahtzee with the government

Is not a whole lot of fun

So that’s why I want to go live in the woods

With my wife, my dog, and my gun.

Ah Yes… You Charge Us More To Remind Us To Pay You To Help Them Steal From Us

At 11:59 on December 31st

A ball fell in NYC.

It was at that moment Turbotax

Said “It’s time to remind you of me!”

What Makes An Artist Successful?

The important part of making art

May be your visible passion

Whether for painting, poetry,

Sculpture, dance, or fashion.

It may be skill, in motion or still,

Technique from masters past…

But I think it’s knowing a millionaire

Who needs tax write-offs fast!

If Only The Sea Level Could Rise Above Washington DC

In four more days the day will be

The longest of the year.

Today it’s fifty-eight outside

And I’m grinning ear to ear

‘Cause this means all our efforts

In the global warming fight

Have paid off, and we can repeal

The carbon tax now, right?

Dear IRS…

If I had a yeasty codpiece

That was trolled through mud and sludge

And then ground into a powder

And baked into a toxic fudge

That was fed to pigs with cholera

Who shat it into a vial

I’d rather take a shot of it

Than pay you to e-file.

The One Tax I Would Support

I think that complaint calls

Should work like a phone sex line:

They’ll charge you by the minute

To listen to you whine.

In fact, any complaints at all

Should have a hefty fee…

Who else wants to defund Karens

And fill the world with glee?

24 Hours Of Visibility And The Whole System Collapses…

I think for one day a year

All taxes should be ignored

And you’ll see how gas is a dollar less

And your check is twenty percent more

And as you drive your car on roads

With a single pothole, wonder

Why do we support “our side” so much

When both sides keep sucking us under?
