My Lifelong Friend
My Lifelong Friend

Two days after the Ides of April,
the Tax-Man looms casting shadows
gloomier than the collapsing market.

He wants a pound of tears and flesh
regardless of whether the crops came in
or customers paid their debts.

Life is such a bummer. First you slobber
then you work until skin wrinkles,
teeth fall out and knees no longer bend.

Give me Death — at least it ends
when My Lifelong Friend takes me by the hand
to a neverland where taxes cannot follow.
