Tax Haiku Redo!

Kelly Phillips ErbJanuary 22, 2009

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!
