The Tax Poem
Tax his land, tax his wage,
Tax his cow, tax his goat,
Tax his chew, tax his smoke,
Tax his food, tax his drink,
Tax his bills, tax his gas,
If he hollers, tax him more,
Put these words upon his tomb,
Tax his bed in which he lays.
Tax his tractor, tax his mule,
Teach him taxes is the rule.
Tax his pants, tax his coat.
Tax his ties, tax his shirts,
Tax his work, tax his dirt.
Teach him taxes are no joke.
Tax his car, tax his grass,
Tax the roads he must pass.
Tax him if he tries to think.
Tax his sodas, tax his beers,
If he cries, tax his tears.
Tax his notes, tax his cash.
Tax him good and let him know
That after taxes, he has no dough.
Tax him until he's good and sore.
Tax his coffin, tax his grave,
Tax the sod in which he lays.
"Taxes drove me to my doom!"
And when he's gone, we won't relax,
We'll still be after the inheritance TAX.
