Tax

Ronald Bunch 1982 (Grand Rapids)

The tiger roars
At the closed doors.
The bang
And the fang.
The tiger roars at the zoo’s warmth
And pounces at your worth.
All bloody and not canceled.
A sitcom that shows you are handsome.
Bloody as red
And shown on TV.

The reporters have nerves
of steel,
And psychos that steal.
The police arrested them.
But the tiger pounces
And they reel in the beast.

The zoo,
And it was almost deceased.
Don't let it pounce
And ketch-up.
The tiger's vision soars
As the other tiger roars.

They fight when the space is tight.
The sun and the tiger's son.
It's bright and they fight.
You learn and relax
From your income tax,
That you fax.
The tigers are expensive
And the tax is neck-loose.
