Birthday Limerick
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Name something folks hate to the max
And would love to destroy with an ax.
It is DC-controlled
And one-century old.
Give up? It’s the fed income tax.
Today, Oct 3, 2013, is the one-hundredth anniversary of the federal income tax.
Clerk Antics
By Madeleine Begun Kane
There once was a government clerk
Who tended to act like a jerk.
When someone asked why,
He’d often reply:
“It’s a wonderful perk of my work.”
