The Income Tax Audit

 

By Elton Camp

 

Perry boasted how the IRS he so loved to cheat

But found that he should’ve been more discreet

When a neighbor notified the Internal Revenue,

The agency decided that an audit they would do

 

The examiner soon found Perry lived like a prince

His lifestyle of income tax fraud soon did convince

“Man, you can’t have reported all of your income.

Where did this mansion and limousine come from?”

 

Perry also had bragged of his enormous casino win

But he hadn’t thought that he should turn a dime in

Also income showed on his Social Security account

But on his 1040 he hadn’t reported the same amount

 

Clothes given to the Salvation Army he took deduction

But the value he reported needed some drastic reduction

To the church Perry claimed that he gave twenty percent

But the pastor reported it wasn’t even a place that he went
