Cigars

Taxing Situation

By: - Nov 12, 2014

 

Cigars

Family trip to Europe
Bal a Versailles
Mom packed for months
Gowns for the ladies
Tails for men
Last minute
Dad opened a suitcase
Tossed in
Shirts and socks
Boxes of cigars
Customs officials
Mean little twits with caps
Wanted to tax cigars
Ranted and raged
Wouldn’t budge
Gallic huffs and puffs
Waved a wad of C Notes
No dice
Next plane home
Oh Dad we pleaded
No cigars then Basta
With a shrug
Suitcases slammed shut
Chalk X
On to Paris
The almighty dollar
Spoke French
