Best Tax Poems

Cash
Slashed by
Uncle Sam
Hard earned wages
Burned as income tax
Cash gone like blowing wind
Tax is not like sweet vermouth
This is just like pulling hen’s tooth
Tax going up, paycheck going down
Tax man leave us alone—we need a break!

Tax Time

File by April 15th,
avoid penalty and interest.

Declare all income from: 
          gainful employment
          investments
          state refunds

When tax is due make sure that you pay 
Scarface didn't and got put away
For the feds they got wise
Took Capone by surprise
Alcatraz he went for a long stay.

So the moral of this limerick rhyme
Tax dodging is a serious crime
If you love prison life
And you...

Trump says that the best way to spoil it
Is flush tax returns down the toilet*
But the IRS said
You'll be deep in the red
Fish 'em out and make sure you boil it! 

*  Trump's White House staff report
that Trump had a penchant for
tearing, flushing -...

He was a man of short stature and a little over weight too
A tax collector always wanting more, sort a like me and you
But on that one day when our Lord Jesus had come to town
He tried making his way if even to just see...

I am going to write a funny poem
Does God ever say you have to be God?
When are you going to know?
Let me know okay?
Do you know what God does?
He does what you do haha
So watch it
You don't want to do a bad job, do you?
His...

There once were some Senators in office
Approving taxes that really cost us
But when an audit was done
The Senators had paid none
These crooks are adding to our losses...

As we bring in spring the thing I mainly dread,
Is preparing overbearing taxes for the Feds.

If I had the power to empower anything,
I’d shower that power on a tax decoder ring.

This sure thing ring would sting right at the source,
Of our outmoded tax code that...

I can't believe what I heard on the automobile radio the other day!
'Tis further proof that nuts are on the loose and the world is in disarray!

European environmentalists, among others, who, mighty weird things espouse,
Are proposing, and I kid you not, a flatulence tax on...

They really think they got us where they want us
That we'll be content with what is left
They really heap the load high upon us
Then tell us we had better keep in step

They tax the dollar when you have to earn it
They tax while it sitting...

Two groups of people pay taxes
which really don't sound all that bad
trouble is the two groups are women and men
that makes it all rather sad.

Were I asked, What's the Eiffel Tower?
my answer would be - I'm afraid
It's what's left of the Empire State Building
after it's...

There once was a man from Halifax
Who refused to pay all of his tax
He failed the audit
Although he fought it
Now in a jail cell he tries to relax

He was sent to a prison for white collar crime
And in there he would serve all of his...

Can't follow 1040 instructions?
Need help claiming all those deductions?
Trump knows what you need
Is not chicken feed
But his lawyers skilled in seductions...

I once was a little bit lax,
Failing to pay my income tax.
There is no need to guess,
I then faced the IRS;
Was sent to prison to relax....
