👮 ... If I Didn't Have To Spend Money On Uncle TAXi ... 👮

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 My girlfriend

would love me for

the Forty Days of Christmas  

If I gave her

a total of forty $100 gifts

However,

Uncle TAXi

will not allow

that to happen

 

Because

I have to give HIM

the equivalent of

forty-five $100 gifts

My uncle's full name

is

 PROPERTi TAXi

and he is full of power

over homeowners

like me

 

Without Uncle TAXi

and his kin,

Uncle Sam would have

empty pockets

 

If I ignored Uncle TAXi,

he could padlock me 

out of home and hearth

👮

 

👮

But he is considerate enough

to accept half-payment

in December

and the other half

in March
