Deep In The Heart Of Taxes
(With profuse apologies.)
The stars at night – laugh at my plight
Deep in the heart of taxes.
I pray and sigh – my gross is wide and high
Deep in the heart of taxes.
Exemptions loom – miss one, yer doomed
Deep in the heart of taxes.
Reminds me of – a couple of
Deductions, take that! Taxes.
The accountants cry – ki-yip-pie-yi
Deep in the heart of taxes.
The late folk rush – midnight filing crush
Deep in the heart of taxes.
The dependents wail – Dad’s off to jail
Deep in the heart of taxes.
The payers bawl – and bawl and bawl
Deep in the heart of taxes.
