So - you're the one!! Very humorous write and I like the pace and flow. Never had a tax problem myself but can imagine the horrors for those who have. Enjoy your retirement - I am sure there are many more who will.

I must give you credit for a job well done. I read an article once named Hated without cause. I am sure this was not you. LOL. Some of my friends worked for the IRS; they helped me file my taxes. Saved me lots of money.

It is good you did your job well. But you probably had a lot of hidden enemies in the people you extracted payments from. I hope that was off set by big refunds you sent. I am glad you finally got the noticed at retirement.
Good luck, keep writing and stay healthy

Comment from tfawcus
I can understand the feeling of being undervalued in a job such as this - not one that the general public view favourably! Unless they are receiving a refund, of course! LOL
I think your poem gives an accurate perspective about the way in which people who work for big, impersonal organisations sometimes feel, and you've done it with engaging, self-deprecating humour.

Comment from Anne Johnston
Very well done on this humorous poem about your job. Congratulations for sticking to that job for years. I am sure you have a lot of stories to tell. I like your ending:
"I worked for - Revenue, twenty-eight years;
when I retired, I could hear all the cheers."
Hope you do well in contest.

Comment from royowen
I don't think I've ever met, or indeed, known anyone who worked for the tax department('s) state or federal, but then I never knew anyone who did know anyone. Beautifully written my friend, written almost like a sonnet, but with aabb rhyming and an extra stanza, in pentameter, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

Comment from Patty Palmer
Income tax= bad words LOL Your poem is funny. It rhymes well and is very easy to read. I'm sure you did do your job well. Let's face it the IRS is an easy job to write jokes about even telling for real. Good job!

Comment from Janet Foor
Working for the Department of Revenue, Income Tax Division is most likely a thankless job but I'm sure you were good a it and very responsible.
But, if you issued refunds, maybe you were appreciated. :))))
Well done.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Good artwork and presentation.
-You notes are appreciated.
-A well written poem with
vivid images and rhyme
describing your job with humor!
-I like how you made use of
exaggeration, too, like:
"I was never on time, but always late."
-I also like:
"my devotion unnoticed - I could tell."
-A great ending line, too.
-I could go on, but I liked the whole poem!
-I also appreciate a good sense of humor.
-A very good entry; good luck!
