POEM STARTER
Submitted by Karman
Write a poem about the protagonist getting something off of their chest.
Tax Season
Oh how tired I am, I lament,
For it is the dreaded tax season.
Which means it’s time to
Calculate every dollar and cent.
‘Tis the season to fuss and stress,
Over all the important details.
Without the cheer, it’s way worse than
Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I downloaded all the PDFs
Of various financial statements.
Then I compiled the endless numbers,
And grinded through all the checks.
At last the stress that was on my chest
Has decreased somewhat quite a bit.
I’ve finished this whole big chunk—
Not everything but still good progress.
