I should write, but I’ve nothing to say;
Inspiration is waning today.
My damn muse is a pill!
She won’t help me until
I’m done filing my taxes. Oy Vey!

My Taxing Muse (Limerick)
Thursday, April 2nd, 2026Distractions (Limerick)
Tuesday, April 16th, 2024I attempt to write lim’ricks each day.
But at times my damn mind won’t obey:
For my latest lim-slump
I blame tax forms and Trump.
Both distract me and WON’T GO AWAY!
Go To Hell, Gabelle! (Limerick)
Monday, April 15th, 2019Dictionary.com celebrated Tax Day today with this new-to-me word: Gabelle.
1 a tax; excise.
2 French History. a tax on salt, abolished in 1790.
Payers never respond with a smile
To taxes, which anger and rile.
Salty words greet gabelles;
Taxing salt rarely sells,
And in France it has gone out of style.
