Death and Taxes, II

The senator’s withholding his returns,
And Romney’s playing chicken with the files,
Betting on the way in which the piles,
Packages, or bags, or Grecian Urns
Of money each has made has been in keeping
With the way in which the IRS
Has thought it proper, taking more or less
Percentage their endeavors have been reaping,
Putting it to governmental use.
I find it odd that it is not required
Here to leave your taxes unadmired
If you work for government.  Abuse
Is easy, and it doesn’t matter who
Is first, but that the other does it, too.
