Rich Beyond Your Wildest Dreams

The thing you’d find most ominous if it were inside a fortune cookie.

Fed up with taxes was she
Opened up a fortune cookie!

"You are rich beyond your wildest dreams!"
The place was full of her screams.

"No, no, really I'm not
I have declared all I've got!"

Dream? Nightmare!
All the tax men there.

"She's rich, she's rich
She must pay, she cannot ditch!"

"She's rich, she's rich,
Hidden it away, she's a witch!"

"She's rich, she's rich
Not to say it, but she's a B****!"

At this, she woke, sweating
Taxes really had her fretting.

Took deep breaths, calmed down
Then a smile replaced the frown.

She'd met the tax man yesterday
Given him the amount she had to pay.

It was a very smooth investigation
The trauma was her imagination.

Yes, she was rich in many things
Family and friends her main blessings.

She put her head back on the pillow
Now her thoughts were mellow.

"I'm rich, I'm rich, and I'm grateful
To have blessings is so cool!"
