ANNUAL NIGHTMARE, APRIL 15TH

All people seem so grumpy now,
>From everywhere we hear a gripe;
Procrastination ends somehow,
With tax returns the mail is ripe.

The records kept so carefully,
When needed now are nowhere found;
New regulations frighten me,
Instructions just go round and round.

The notes I failed to put right down,
Have now escaped my memory;
In seas of old receipts I drown,
I can't recall their history.

Such indecision do I face,
Is it deductible or not?
Aggressiveness I will embrace,
But wonder if I may be shot.

Next year far better I'll prepare,
But what to do re this return?
I hate this annual nightmare,
The blasted tax code we should burn.
