Why not tax the air we breathe,
the flowers that we smell?
The smile on every baby
and each plea at wishing well?
Why not tax the sunshine
and the rainbow's iridescence?
Every snowflake on our lawn
and half our birthday presents?
Raise a tax on porch swings
that don't creak when lovers kiss.
Tax old men of certain wealth
for every time they piss.
Tax the tears of homeless folk,
the stones in cemeteries.
Double-tax the gifts that men
will buy their secretaries.
Tax the word "fantastic"
when it's uttered on TV.
Democrats deserve a tax
upon their victory.
Tax the gold and silver
megachurchs charge for cant.
Tax the lowly hedgehog
and the mighty elephant.
Tax the schoolkid's daydreams
and the kelvins in Thai curry.
Tax the young, the old, the bald,
the bearded and the furry.
Tax the smoke from chimneys
and Godzilla's ugly spawn.
Tax the teeth that show up
at each weary midnight yawn.
(Tax the pins and needles
that the taxpayer is on.)
Tax the dove of peace
and tax the eagle that brings war.
Tax each stupid golfer
every time he hollers "Fore!"
Tax all socks with holes in them
and don't forget nail clippers.
Tax the crumbs from bagels
and those lousy cheapskate tippers.
Tax the East, the North, The South,
then tax them once again.
How about a sales tax
on the local cub scout den?
Tax each flake of dandruff
but exempt albino gays.
Tax the panes in windows,
marriage vows and corset stays.
(But never tax the profits
of our future MBA's.)
A tax on all Brazil nuts
would for certain stop inflation;
but every other nut will get
a free ride in our nation.
