I Got Your Taxes

Our congress just loves to lament, about waste when taxes are spent, but say it ain't healthy to tax raise the wealthy so they tax those that can't pay rent. Roads and the schools need maintaining, from taxes I'm not abstaining, while the poor live on beans its the ones with the means that are doing the complaining. I choose a career that won't pass, just anywhere near upper class, but I'll make my dollar with sweaty blue collar The wealthy can all kiss my ass.

They are experts at kissing ass. They've been kissing Saudi ass for years. Poor some oil on your ass and 3/4 of Congress will show up to have a kissing contest. Vince

I guess the wealthy will have to do a lot of "kissing," Wayne. Great limerick. Congratulations on placing third in the contest. The competition was very strong, so take pride in your accomplishment! Love, Carolyn

Glad to see you made the change for the contest. In case you got mixed up, it's Carolyn's contest, as you probably knew anyway. Oh, and I know by looks maybe only half the flowers I discussed in my poem. I just do fast research. haha. Thanks for your note. LUv, Andrea

Very entertaining trio of limericks. The last line in the third installment should be etched in marble.

Wayne, yours is about the best I've seen if for the contest. ONe problem though. It has to be fifteen lines or less. Don't know what to tell you to eliminate. All good stuff, but I hope you take it down to the limit so you can win. LUv,Andrea
