Taxman’s Hour

By Lynn Ockersz

Behold O Taxman, your net’s width,

Now that the IRD’s going the digital way,

Thanks to the IMF’s withering dictates,

And see that Sharks and not only Sprats,

Will be well within your dragnet,

For now you could better detect,

Moneybags and their parasitic ways,

Besides political class top-dogs,

Who at covering their tracks are best,

But the citizenry earnestly hopes,

That your integrity won’t easily bend.
