Grandma's Attic

Although we are OLD and MATURE and on SOCIAL SECURITY and no longer have to file income tax returns, I still feel other's pain this time of the year, so wanted to share a poem with you which shows, no matter what the age or income, IT HURTS!!!

IRS

An albatross around your neck

an elephant sitting on your chest

Either way it feels the same

HEAVY! the IRS

is always poking in our peacefulness

It will not let us rest

Even when we do not work

they find some way to pester us

and make us feel unsettled

even in the promised land

I'll bet the Israelite fathers

felt their heavy hand

as Moses led them out of bondage

Could their prison have been as hard

as owing taxes to the IRS?

When's the coming of the Lord?

for heaven's sake

hurry up!

On the plus side, I have just mailed in our application to get the $300.00 each Stimulus check.

I doubt if it will stimulate the economy though, since probably about 90% of all Americans will use the money to pay off their credit card, or maybe pay the rent. Tough times all around.
