You beat the ol' devil, Tom. You were way ahead of him! A well penned humourous write which gave me giggles as I read and I'm still laughing! Poor ol' Mr. McHugh was only doing his job, Tom. I bet you he was a very nice person outside of office hours? You narrate the tale so well, you are a born storyteller! Can't wait to read your next poem! I know it will be even more funny, Tom. Thank you for sharing, dear poet. Lovely work, as always...

ahahahaha great humor ... wonderful rhyme and rhythm my friend .. strong social commentary that resonates big time, says i! it's not just Fed. Income Tax .. it's a whole lot more .. gas, alcohol, luxury, cigarette, tax tax tax .. arrrght! by the time we put a buck in the wallet it is so moth eaten it disappears like puff ball mushroom fungus in the wind .. makes he think we need another Tea Party .. thanks for the very fine poem, Tom ...

Hi Tom
A very well written , sarcastic piece…..in the U.S . If we don’t pay our taxes, we go to prison! No bartering….but I like your idea of hiding the cash and soaking him in rye if he dare come close
Very witty🌷
Warmly, B
Tom,
Where I live, Of my year of earnings, EVERYTHING I make until June goes to the Government. Between Income, property, sales, gasoline, car, social security, medicare, and a bunch of others, that are hidden and buried, my a*s is totally kicked...
Thanks for the reminder...

The rewrite is a superb version of your original poem, Tom. It is still very humorously penned and I know you will probably never again speak to me for saying this, but that's a chance I am willing to take, lol... I actually prefer the first version. It gave me more laughs and I enjoyed it more than the newer version. You still tell the story admirably well, but I don't find it as funny! That's just me, Tom and I know everybody who reads this poem will thoroughly enjoy it as I have. Thank you for sharing, Tom. Lovely work!

Laughing! I must try it sometime, Tom. Would be an interesting experiment! Thank you so much...
What goes around will come around; tax the middle class and the rich, exempt the poor in my opinion; they need every dollar, pound to survive if not more.
This was witty with a good message Tom.

Please publicise, scare the devil and all his associates to holes in their own unbalanced pockets! The average being now pays for his or her own life... then comes that highwayman and his demands.. send him to Coventry, let him fall under the hoofs of any passing gee-gee - sez I! Witty, clever words from you - more than apt in the present UK climate!

A trickery over the trickster...hmm...quite amusing there, can I talk about this witty, humorous tell tale, I'm just very impressed here with nothing much to say. Sigh.

I'm awestruck of this one my friend!
