taxed

my tax lady
betty is dragging her feet
on having my
taxes done. she's been sitting
on my paperwork since
late February.
it must mean I owe,
she's delaying the inevitable
phone call
to tell me so.
I hope we both don't go
to jail
this year, she'll say.
but you owe.
this for fed
and this for state.
I assume you are putting
your usual pitiful
amount into your four oh
one K.
but they're ready now.
all you need is to come
down and sign
before the fifteenth.
