>
> APRIL FOOLS NIGHT
>
>T'was the night before tax day
> and all through the nation,
>Tax slaves had stopped filing,
> Oh! What a sensation.
>
>1040's were burned
> in the chimneys with care
>Giving the tax thieves
> a terrible scare.
>
>Patriots were resting
> all snug in their beds,
>While visions of freedom
> danced in their heads.
>
>I was reading the code book,
> the IRS bible,
>which says no one is required
> who has not been made liable.
>
>When out in the street
> there arose such a clatter,
>I sprang from my chair
> to see what was the matter.
>
>Away to the window
> I flew like a flash,
>Tore open the shutter
> and threw up the sash.
>
>The full moon shining
> through the Sycamore tree
>created deep dark shadows
> making it hard to see.
>
>Then what to my wondering eyes
> should appear,
>But a swat van of IRS "men"
> all trembling with fear.
>
>The little old driver
> all grimy and slick,
>I knew in an instant
> it must be agent nick.
>
>As sneaky as a rattle snake,
> with his cronies he came,
>He hushed and whispered
> as he called them by name.
>
>Now Judas, now Benedict
> Now Robber and Bum,
>Come Burglar, come liar
> come all of you scum.
>
>Onto my lawn he came
> onto the dewey wetted grass,
>He tripped on the lawn rake
> and fell on his, er ah! ear.
>
>He pulled himself up
> and shouted with zeal,
>I will not be daunted
> on my mission to steal.
>
>Then onto my porch
> all the cronies they flew
>Their satchels full of summonses
> and their pistols in view.
>
>And then in a twinkling
> a loud knock at the door,
>And weak trembling voices
> wishing they were more.
>
>As I opened the door
> I heard not a sound.
>There stood agent Nick
> looking down at the ground.
>
>A bundle of forms
> he had in his hand,
>And he looked for sure
> like a real publican
>
>His eyes how they blinked!
> dimples, he had none,
>His cheeks were sagging
> like one who'd never had fun.
>
>He had a Bureaucrat's face
> and a big pot belly
>That hung over his belt
> like a sack full of jelly
>
>With a blink of his eye
> and a twist of his head
>My rights, from a card
> he hurriedly read.
>
>He began asking questions
> as he went right to work.
>I asserted my rights
> and didn't answer the jerk.
>
>I said "never made liable"
> looking straight in his eye,
>He turned pale and trembled
> as if he would die.
>
>He sprang to his van,
> to his cronies gave a call,
>And away they all fled
> agent Nick and all.
>
>But I heard them screaming
> as they sped out of sight,
>"Down with that constitution
> and all of those rights".
