Taxing Time
 
Personal taxes are now due
to internal revenue.

(You're not exempt, it can't be beat
only the government can cheat.)

First check your name and check you sex.
Check all the boxes with an X.

Declare your age, declare your wage.
Declare it on the proper page.

File your deductions, one by one.
(The government must think it's fun.)

Now file all your exemptions too.
(They are of benefit to you.)

Wait for refunds or pay arrears.
While crying tears in well taxed beers
just watch as money disappears.
