April 15 Bues

Today is April 15 the date tax returns and payment are due

To a government that knows how to tax but when it comes to frugal spending has not a clue.

This year we get a two day reprieve to file and pay

But the wasteful fraud and abuse in spending will not go away.

Led by an arrogant head who thinks we are all clowns

And whose disregard of the law knows no bounds.

Time maybe to a Boston Tea Party repeat

Impeach him and send him to a disgraceful retreat 

April 15 Blues

April 15 makes one’s blood pressure rise

Waiting with baited breath to see if you are due for an unwelcome surprise

We have gone too long and too far down a potholed dangerous road

Littered with failed businesses, failed dreams and empty wallets due to an oppressive IRS Code

From a four page 1040 and 400 pages in 1913 the Code has grown

To 74,208 pages no wonder Americans would like to it disown

You need an accountant to just to file and many live thereafter in total fear

For the notice of an audit to in their mail box appear

Decades of using the tax code to behavior socially engineer

When mailed off many reach for the bourbon or cold beer

Koskinen may look like a helpful Mr. Clean

But when it comes to telling the truth his lying habits are hard to wean

His lackey Lois Lerner targeted Tea Party Groups to 501 status block

While Koskinen subpoenas from the House continued to mock

Whenever the IRS is used to skewer conservatives on the political grill

We all should be shaking in fear as political discussion and assembly is subject to a mortal chill

If by chance your retail business takes no credit cards,  only takes cash

These thieves at the IRS may illegally seize your hard earned stash

If perchance we are young in age and healthy as a horse

Don’t want insurance the IRS makes us buy with its taxing force

Why Congress has not impeached Koskinen cannot be justified

Destruction of records showing Lerner’s guilt and subpoenas defied

For American taxpayers and Congress this bald tyrant has nothing but contempt

Maybe like our ancestors almost 250 years ago time for another repeat protest attempt

Take off your Easter Bonnet, find your war bonnet, find your feathers, warpaint your face

Time to put an end to this national disgrace

Instead of dumping into the harbor chests of tea

Time to tar and feather him and IRS leaders and toss them into the Potomac to flow out to sea

A good way to drain the Swamp and give taxpayers some needed relief

Toss in a few lobbyists whose contributions to Congress bring such quid pro quo grief

Time bang the war drums loudly and send the smoke signals to Sessions

Time to end on conservatives the continuing IRS repression

Time light up the prosecutorial burner

To trial and hopefully jail bring Lois Lerner
