Reining In Your Returns (Limerick)
A horseback-riding reader asked me to write a tax-related limerick. Here’s what I came up with:
Reining In Your Returns (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
To the folks who find horseback transcendent,
Please beware, you could be a defendant,
If when doing your tax,
You err to the max
By declaring your horse a “dependent.”

Another good one!
We’d better beware of such mistakes! Nice, I don’t have a horse then :-D
hmm you might be able to make an argument if he can talk like ed you know…smiles.
smiles..i like that your humor doesn’t end with the taxes…hehe
I like humor and I adore horses.Enjoyed this, still smiling.
I loved this…I needed something light and fun today…thank you
ha! I would do that… make sure to give my horse a nice, sophisticated name. heheh nice
that’s like when your driving and you want to take the HOV lane cuz your dog(s) are(is) with you!! LOL
messy little girl
Ah, how I wish I had a horse dependent
Instead, I’m my puppy’s attendant
She goes in the grass
And slips out some gas
So compared to that, my tax work’s transcendant
I love limericks!
I know a couple horse lovers who probably wish they could claim their “babies”!
Great limerick, Madeleine :-)
Thanks so much everyone for your kind and fun comments!
