That Dreaded Date Write a Harrisham Sonnet

That Dreaded Date

April 15 is coming way too fast.
Let's gather up all of our receipts.
Spaced out, my mind is harassed.
Darlin', Trinity needs new cleats.
Now I will buy while my money lasts
while saving most for government feats.

Encore, same old deductions don't cut it.
Economize and plan with my CPA,
expediently asking for tips to save a bit .
Yet trying so hard to find a way,
thinking the bottom line just won't fit,
Great! Too much owed, some stashed away.

Test: "death and taxes", no escape,
to end, I hope, with finances in shape.
