Alive 94 Year Vet Dead To IRS

Zombies now seem to be the new TV and movie craze

Each new one having a more violent and special effects phase

In real life we know there are no zombies to address

Save perhaps in the computer bowls IRS

A 94 year old WWII vet who dodged shell and shot to survive

Cannot file his tax return because to the IRS he is no longer alive

On one hand we cringe under IRS political terror

And on the other we get to laugh at a comedy of errors

Still yet another example of why the IRS we revile

Siegfried Meinstein has been entered as dead in the IRS computer files

For almost a year in person and by letter he has tried to convince the IRS

That a trip by the Grim Reaper to his bed he has suppressed

Here perhaps is the reason why the IRS will not his return accept

He had already prepaid his taxes so no return, no refund check

Since at 94 no one lives forever sometime in the future the IRS will get it right

Till then we have yet another reason to about the IRS continue to gripe
