Show Hell and High Taxes HELL AND HIGH TAXES Tax the farmer, tax his fowl, Tax the dog, tax his howl; Tax the hen and tax her egg, Let the poor old farmer beg. Tax the pig and tax his squeals, Tax his boots run down at heels, Tex his plow and taxliis clothes, Tax the rags that wipe his nose. Tax his home and tax his bed, Tax the bald spot on his head; Tax the ox and tax the ass, Tax his "Henry", tax his gas, Tax the road that he must pass, Make him travel on the grass; Tax his cow, and tax her calf, Tax him if he dares to laugh. He is but a common man So tax the poor cuss all you can. Tax the laborer, but be discreet, Tax the shoes right off his feet. Tax his bread, tax his meat, Tax him for walking on the street; Tax the payroll, tax the sale. Tax all his hard - earned paper kale, Tax his pipe, tax his smoke, Teach him government is no joke; Tax the coffins, tax the shrouds, Tax the souls beyond' the clouds, Tax all business, tax all stocks, Tax the living, tax the dead, Tax the unborn before they're fed. Tax the water, tax the air, Tax the sunlight if you dare. Tax 'em all, and tax ern well, And do your best to make life HELL! -Unknown. |
