The Poet--The Fools of April


The Fools of April 
Comes April 1st the day of fools,
and most of them in Congress.
They are fools who now abuse
all taxes to the excess.
The tax forms are confounding...
a pro must sum that which we owe.
We find that is astounding,
when we’re assured tax will not grow.
Yet grow it does, but cunningly...
a tiny tweak on what’s allowed.
Things that normal men can’t see...
things that once they disavowed.

Yes, it is the day of fools,
but maybe they are us.
We have let them make the rules;
‘tis time we make a fuss.
