TAX

TAX

I am a man; I am not a tree,

So why does this government urinate on me?

A tax on my wages, my beer and bread,

A tax in the restaurant and my hotel bed.

A tax on my holiday also when I fly,

A tax on prescriptions and even when I die.

A tax on my train ticket or the petrol in my car,

A tax on the strawberries in my jam jar.

A tax on sanitary towels, that is really bad,

If I was a woman I’d get truly mad!

Income tax has dropped (be happy) by a whole penny,

But, tax goes up on everything else.......

To leave you without any.
