Hello All. Today’s prompt, to write a poem with a repetitive set up, repeating lines, using lines that have a repetitive flow, building and ebbing and cumulative and recurrent. In other words a poem replete with repeats. Thank you for visiting.
Taxes
Taxes
The drawer of forms is overrun,
Time for taxes to be done.
Responsibilities I shall not shun,
Time for taxes to be done.
I’ve procrastinated, like everyone.
Today my taxes will be done.
Found the W2s, there are a ton,
Now the taxes can get done.
Missing the 1099, I think there’s one.
Hope these taxes can get done.
Filling in the boxes is never fun,
But I can get these taxes done.
A 401K, where once there was none,
Befuddles the taxes yet to be done.
Maybe I will go for a run.
No, no, these taxes must get done.
And sections 80TTA or B
Which one really refers to me?
Capital gains, estate,
Keough, and Kiddie,
All the pages are
Make me giddy.
Puzzle the adjusted gross income
And surely the taxes will be done.
Can I declare the goat that I won?
Oh fearsome taxes, please be done!
Preparers, accountants, anyone?
Please help me get my taxes done!
I’ll clear my head and sit in the sun.
Tomorrow, my taxes will be . . . begun.
