Working on Haikus Instead of Taxes

Haiku FridayA lovely spring day:
Fresh breeze goes to charity
as I do taxes.

Form 1040 asks
what is your occupation?
Can I say "breathing?"

The sun, a bright gem
set in a blue crystal sky.
Can I write it off?

Bird at my window
whirls furiously against
its own reflection.

TurboTax whirring
on our deepest mystery:
What is our balance?

  2. I may have to file
    for an extension because
    time is growing short!

    Turbo tax and I
    do not speak the same language
    anymore ... alas.

    Hugs and blessings

  6. Very good. I saw this corny commercial lat night. A guy is in the bathroom and shuts the mirror, he sees this word floating "TAXES" and screams. It is a funny commercial, when regurgitated here I know it sounds lame.

    Good for you for getting through your tax situation.

  7. Your taxes and your computer break down coincide so closely are you sure you did not throw it against the wall or out the window instead?! ha - oh wait - that would be what I would do! Loved this haiku!
