Tax this Poem Options

[Paul's Here]

At first I thought this was humorous............then I realized the
awful truth of it.

Be sure and read the end!

Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he's fed.

Tax his tractor,
tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
are the rule

Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.

Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries, then
Tax his tears.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass

Tax all he has
then let him know
that you won't be done
till he has no dough.

When he screams and hollers,
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
he's good and sore.

Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.

Put these words
upon his tomb,
"Taxes drove me
to my doom..."

When he's gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

Blame it all on mom for leaving home.

But, mine is for the sake of the environment hence should be tax free. Just like most celebrities advocate no SUV's but drive them anyway.

Woops, I shouldn't have said that. I mean, the benefit of my letters and words, outweigh the social costs to the world.

I'll be short. It's in the mail.

PS: do the space between the words count too? What about contractions?

I shudder to think that some place, some where, one of the endless number of bureaucrats is reading this and saying...Hmmmmmmm.

Where have you been? Haven't you heard of the environment tax? Hey, how about a tax on stating contradictions? Targeting politicians, of course.

It might be more vividly to the point to read the poem with which Paul started this thread by omitting the "t" in front of "tax". To begin a few:

Ax his land,
Ax his bed,
Ax the table
At which he's fed.

Ax his tractor,
Ax his mule,
Teach him axes
Are the rule.

Ax his cow,
Ax his goat,
Ax his pants,
Ax his coat.

Ax his ties,
Ax his shirt,
Ax his work,
Ax his dirt.

Ax his tobacco,
Ax his drink,
Ax him if
He tries to think.
