Two days and I'm free. Yes, if any of you have put it off, tax season ends tomorrow (oh happy day!) I filed early and got my refund months ago. But there is a sense of panic at the office that always makes me wonder why anyone would walk into a tax prep office without so much as an appointment one or two days before the deadline! Is it the daring thrill of wondering if you will get in? The excitement of finding out you owe and have only hours to scrape up the money?In honor of the tax season being over I have written a Haiku. What made me think of a Haiku you ask? Well, after Easter dinner our family whipped out various needlework projects and chatted and our college age niece mentioned that she had a professor who would accept term papers in any form as long as you got your point across, he even accepts Haikus! Well that got the English fanatic in our family going and Karen sat there and cranked out one hilarious haiku after another. I know, we are a bit weird, but we are all weird together so we enjoy it:>) So here it is, my haiku for the tax season:
Last day tax season
I must have an extension
Oh why did I wait?
The photo above is our Easter table before the dinner. The tablecloth is a vintage linen sent to me by my dear Aunt Sharon. I have so many white linens though, I decided to dye this one blue for a little something more springy. I love how it turned out. One box of rit dye in evening blue and the washer. Easy. Got to go. After the 15th I'm back!
Love the haiku!!
ReplyDeleteThe table is so lovely. You did a great job!
Tablecloth is nice

Sorry for the spill
Tax season is done
Kathy will be free again
Oh, what joy at last
Haiku addiction
Is taking over my life
Help me I can't stop
Oh, I filed months ago, too! I'm so glad to kiss those days of being ill-prepared good-bye! So much less stress in my life...thank heavens! :)

Love your haiku! I too can't believe that sooooo many people wait till the last minute to file their taxes. I'm never in any hurry, but I also don't wait until the last moment!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your return after the 15th!
What a fun Haiku!! You creative girl you!
ReplyDeleteI went to the credit union today and the line was a mile long!! People transferring monies to pay their tax bill...or borrowing some to do the same. Oh my!!
I know you will be glad to see the 15th come and go!
Sending you hugs and sunshine!
Love,
sue

Today's the 16th so you must be free! Congratulations! You made it. Haiku--I haven't done that since a college assignment years ago.
ReplyDeleteIf I haven't told you, I was so excited to hear your nieces are still crocheting. I'd love to see some of their work.
Hugs,
