Death & Taxes

They say you can bet,

On two things in life,

Death and Taxes.



Death is inescapable.

It comes from all angles,

Like a thief in the night,

It preys...



Taxes I can't afford!

Two years I've been,

Utterly and bitterly scorned.



Please let there be more!

Then the last two mentioned former.....

Death and Taxes.



Oh, in either order...

Two things will be for certain,

Dreadful as it is

Death and Taxes...

love these stanzas in your this poem.....
Death is inescapable.
It comes from all angles,
Like a thief in the night,
It preys...

Taxes I can't afford!
Two years I've been,
Utterly and bitterly scorned.
