ode to the tax return

ode to the tax return

i check for you every day.
anxiously awaiting my pay.
are you there yet? how bout now?
no, not yet. one more time i'll check, how bout now?
i love the direct deposit
sitting here in my computer closet
checking the account
what does it matter the amount?
are you there, yet? are you there?
all this waiting just isn't fair!
are you there yet?...how about....now!
nope, not yet...what about...now?
a new slipcover, some more cups,
tomato plant topsy-turvy-ing it up.
are you there yet? how bout now?
no, not yet. one more time i'll check, how bout now?
more garments, some fun,
a vacation to play in the sun.
a dirty clothes hamper,
repairs on the camper.
are you there yet?...what about...now?!

what are you doing with your tax return?
