It’s already time to start buying school supplies – good thing Tax Free Weekend is coming up. That was the inspiration for this week’s Typewriter Rodeo poem by Karie Anne Roy.
“Tax Free Weekend”
Taxes. Man. What a drag, right?
buying clothes
buying pencils
paper
shoes
and when you think you how much you’ve spent
WRONG
because…taxes
But then there is a moment
a weekend saving grace
stick it to The Man
no taxes for you!
buy all of the clothes
all of the pencils
all of the paper and shoes
and enjoy the crwods
enjoy the no parking
enjoy the panic
of finding everything you need
to save 8 dollars
per one hundred
or may just enjoy staying home
and thinking of that 8 dollars
as the cost of a quiet day
as a tax, if you will,
on sanity
