SIDE TWO......

HEY MISTER TAX MAN!  Here I am again, heard you  were a man among men!  never fast with a pen and  one Alice can depend on!     NOW is time for telling  my point of view, to begin  I am but a very poor Jew.  Didn't know pair of shoes  meant two and animals  roamed before living in zoo!  Usually had nothing to say  when asked, "vel, how's by  you?"    HEY MISTER TAX MAN!  Alice said everyone is entitled  to pay back by a "fair" plan,  even KKK got deal better than   American Indians or Black Man!  Of paying taxes I am a fan!  Nobody can say from tax obligation  I ran or buried my fortune in very  special non-leakable can!    Paid my forty quarters and then  some more, duty to community  I will never ignore! Neighbors  I always have open door!  Sunday morning political shows  with pundits shot on vocabulary!  Talk of the left and of the right,  who is wrong and who is right,  North Korea and South Yemen,  what will be next years cost of  the round, soft lemon!  Never once does one hear  something not connected to fear,  about people crying in their beer  never use or say COMMUNITY!    HEY MISTER TAX MAN!  Will you accept this poem as  payment in full? Please of me  don't think a fool, for that YOU  are just tooooo cool and remember!  I don't have no car!  Don't own a home!  Even my middle name  is on loan.  Once had to fight dog in  soup kitchen for a bone,  was turned down when I  volunteered to be cloned!  As a kid I heard ice cream  came in a cone, but most  of all I was left alone!    HEY MISTER TAXMAN!  Let's hear from you real soon,  before retirement lays in ruin.  Won't have to look for me and  hopefully won't play high noon.  NEVER will go to nursing home  to be fed by spoon! Life has been  good and will keep playing tune!    HEY MISTER TAX MAN!  I WILL NOT TELL A LIE,  on my nation would never spy.  eat Barry's tainted apple pie,  in my beer or soup will never cry!  Do cannabis for medicinal  purposes only and STOP if I'm  getting high!  SO MISTER TAX MAN!  Don't beat me up too bad!  Will make some of my fans sad!  and a few glad! But I find no  reason to be mad!    Thank you for hearing my plea..       Barry McChangky
