Thank you for taking my money away,
There would only have been the Devil to pay
If I’d kept it all—the yachts and the booze,
The holiday home one forgets to use...
To save me from that with legalized theft,
As long as I live, if I’ve anything left,
Each Valentine’s day I shall toast your health
For robbing and pillaging most of my wealth,
And though you’re a bully and fatally smug
Like a rich old lady in love with a thug,
I’m writing, this letter, you fuckers, to say:
‘Thank you for taking my money away.’
