Is the IRS grifting your wealth?
Is that now causing harm to your health?
Would it help if you sued?
It's not likely you've basis to win
even though what they do is a sin;
Through their tax we've canoed.

Though canoeing is taxing, when done
you’ll feel better relaxing with sun
warming muscles that ache
on the porch with a tall glass of tea
and if hungry, there always will be
a big slice of her cake.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

If you're eating two slices of cake
it is likely there's fat in the wake
that will cling to your waist;
if you're moderate though you may find
you'll be having some small piece of mind
and it won't be a waste.

It will not be a waste if the cake
is Italian Cream Cheese, not a fake
as some stores try to sell
to the unwary shoppers who cook
using recipes out of a book
and have no sense of smell.
Made from scratch, I would snatch the whole thing
and indulge in a coconut fling
with no calorie count
but realize that my size would increase
and my dear wife just serves a small piece
so I eat that amount.

If you eat on a mount it could cause
indigestion and that is because
it will shake up your gut;
just dismount and sit down at a table
and enjoy eating; that will enable
digestion, no if, and or but.

There’s no ifs, ands or buts to digest
when it’s candy and nuts you request
and you’re served salad greens.
They should know that with any young man
satisfaction will come when he can
get his sweets and proteins.

Eat your proteins, don exercise sweats;
when you're done feel those fine shower jets
on your abs and your glutes.
Now sit down or recline in your chair,
drink your coffee and down an eclair
getting down to your roots.

Getting down to my roots in the spring
is most likely my favorite thing;
gardening in the dirt
and although I must wait for a while
the results always bring me a smile
and a sweaty old shirt.

Soon I'll put on my sweaty old shirt
and get out in the leaves and the dirt
to clean up the back yard,
mow the lawn, get the pool back in shape --
all the stuff that becomes an escape
and a hope I'll lose lard.

If you hope to lose lard and some weight
eat six meals every day on a plate
made for cups or dessert
and it helps if there isn’t a lip
‘round the edge where large piles always slip
and wind up on your shirt.

When stuff lands on your shirt from your plate
leave it there and let food congregate;
if it can't reach your gut
it won't widen your butt
and at length it could lighten your gait.

When the length or the width of your gait
makes folks think that you are running late
just slow down; take your time
because everyone seems to look down
as they’re texting or blogging in town.
Dodge or stop on a dime!

If your Dodge will not stop on a dime
get a Chevy or Ford; it's a crime
that your truck won't obey.
You could try a Toyota, for sure;
I grew up in Tacoma when poor....
Have my thoughts run away?

All my thoughts ran away with my muse
and she left no ideas I could use
but she said she’d be back
just as soon as more poets appear
and she said it would happen this year
to increase what we lack.

Won't increasing our lack make it worse?
Would there be nothing left in my purse
if my lack is increased?
Maybe I should spend time with my muse
to see if she'd be also confused
by what Larry's unleashed.

Buy what Larry unleashes, re-read
“to increase what we lack” and concede
that our paucity’s curse
will abate as our numbers increase
and the Mosaic grows with each piece
‘cause it can’t get no worse.

If it can't get no worse it gets worse;
double negatives say the reverse...
but I know what you mean.
I'm just picking on words, like I do
every time I've a chance, just as you
know quite well. Right, old bean?

You are right and I know very well
that corrections will come and you’ll tell
me each grammar mistake
but you do it with humor and style
and a gleam in your eyes and a smile
like you’re serving me cake.

When I cook, they say I took the cake;
it's not mine, though, 'cause I seldom bake...
and my girls claim the kitchen.
They don't want me arranging the places
stuff goes and where there should be spaces.

Stay away for less bitching and barks
if you don’t like no-leash doggy parks
because they are a drag
and the school which cost you lots of dough
was supposed to teach them where to go.
