An Ode to State Taxes: What I Could Have Done

April 15 has come and gone.And as usual, I was under the gun, To get my tax check written(Or at least the extensions done). I sit and ponder, "Is it possible, to makeThis whole exercise a bit more fun? "Do I try and work less,As I toil away under the Sun? No, that won't do!"That thought is done. "Could I have upped my charity,And make that state tax bill read 'none'"? Well, there was that Lutheran SGO Scholarship thing(The church and school sure promoted it a ton), Where I could support school scholarshipsAnd start building a State Tax Credit from day one. With these funds, the literature states,The schools can afford to teach more kids about the Son. I couldn't believe what I read,Eliminate my state taxes? Help students? How my mind spun. I pledge to call my adviser; write a check!Or online I will run, So that next April 15th,I can exclaim, "This year, we all won!"
