More Tax Haiku

August 13, 2009 · 9 comments

Maybe it’s summer.

Maybe it’s my grief over the UBS saga finally ending.

Or maybe I’ve just been inspired by 1LPoet to find my inner poet.

But it’s that time again. I feel some tax haiku coming on…

In honor of today’s post:

Oh Connecticut.
Your tax burden is so high.
Thank God for Jersey.

Re the UBS settlement:

It’s done, Switzerland.
No more banking secrecy.
Now you just have cheese.

Estate tax repeal.
It’s not going to happen.
Empty Treasury.

Section 1-6-2
You allow me to expense
I think I love you.

It’s no fun if you’d don’t play along! Give it a whirl below. Use 5 syllables – 7 syllables – 5 syllables.

It’s so easy, even an unlicensed tax pro can do it (that’s for you, Robert!).

Tax Haiku Redo!

January 22, 2009 · 7 comments

It’s been awhile since we’ve had tax haiku on the blog. And it’s been such a long week. So take a moment and enjoy my lame attempts at traditional haiku (5-7-5) for tax:

FreeFile Fill In Forms
FreeFile Fill In Forms,
New From IRS This Year,
How Will It Turn Out?

Treasury Secretary
Timothy Geithner
Where Did You Get Your Advice?
Hire Better Tax Help!

Tax Deductions
Kids are pretty cute
Also a great deduction
But a lot of work.

Ode to Helio Castroneves
Oh, oh Helio
You drive a pretty fast car
But don’t pay taxes.

Ok, so I’m not a poet. But it’s fun, add your own attempts below!
