I Hate Uncle Sam!


So, I went to see George, the tax man, and at the end of the meeting, George determined that we have to pay Uncle Sam lots of dosh! Grrrr. We normally get a few shekels back as a refund - BUT - because I am now over 65 and receiving a pension (which I worked for over many years!) our gross income has now gone up and we must pay more to the government. What a load of old cobblers! I worked for over 30 years and now I am penalized because I get a pension. Pfffft!


As I sit it here and ponder how I'm going to pay Uncle Sam - I can't help but think of the wasters that claim to be disabled and sit at home and play computer games all day - and walk the dog and drive the car and work in the garden - it must be nice!


Oh well, mustn't be bitter - I'm a better person than they!


Mr. Indi is doing quite well today. His bladder infection is clearing up and when Claudia came this morning, all of his vitals were good. I am looking into hiring a private care agency. I really need to get some help and even though it may cost a few bob, it will be worth it to give me a few hours of relief.


The picture is one from my good friend Jan P. Jan is a wonderful lady who also takes care of an invalid husband. We are sisters in the heart. xxxxxx. And, the spring flowers are lovely.

THE IRS BLUES

I had a crummy night, fell into a big sweat
I've hadn’t filed my taxes yet
I tried to smooth it all out in my head
but my .......
brain shut off so, then I went to bed

Chorus:
Auditor, auditor I gotta give ya’ the news
I've gotta bad case of the I-RS blues!!!
No check’s gonna give me a thrill
Cause,
I've gotta bad case of the I-RS blues!!!

A pretty bad look on your face, tells me your not my saving grace
I learned that I hate Taxes, from the start
You think I’m rude , a little bit crude
Tax m-a-n you gotta know, I ain't your kind of dude

(Chorus)
Auditor, auditor I gotta give ya’ the news
I've gotta bad case of the I-RS blues!!!
No check’s gonna give me a thrill
Cause,
I've gotta bad case of the I-RS blues!!!

A pretty bad look on your face, tells me your not my saving grace
I learned that I hate Taxes, from the start
You think I’m rude , a little bit crude
Tax m-a-n you gotta know, I ain't your kind of dude


Wooah

I know you like, you like the cream of the crop
So, Tell me Tax man why did ya’ call me the cream of the cr-a-a-p

You had me down, for tow O’clock
Had me wait then said, “son now shut your lip
Take this fist, Then knock on wood
You've got it bad taxes and I’m gonna make’em good”

(Chorus)
Auditor, auditor I gotta give ya’ the news
I've gotta bad case of the I-RS blues!!!
No check’s gonna give me a thrill
Cause,
I've gotta bad case of the I-RS blues!!!

A pretty bad look on your face, tells me your not my saving grace
I learned that I hate Taxes, from the start
You think I’m rude , a little bit crude
Tax m-a-n you gotta know, I hope this song doesn’t get me sued
