Taxpayer's Lament

Tax his cow, Tax his goat;
  Tax his pants, Tax his coat;
Tax his crop, Tax his work;
  Tax his ties, Tax his shirt;

Tax his chew, Tax his smoke
  Teach him taxing is no joke.
Tax his tractor, Tax his mule;
  Tell him, Taxing is the rule.

Tax his oil, Tax his gas
  Tax his notes, Tax his cash
Tax him good and let him know,
  That after taxes, he has no dough.

If he hollers, Tax him more;
  Tax him till he's good and sore.
Tax his coffin, Tax his grave,
  Tax his sod in which he's laid.

Put these words upon his tomb,
  "Taxes drove him to his doom."
After he's gone, we won't relax.
  We'll still collect the inheritance tax.
