Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 Tax Payment Plan

The U.S. claimed the North Pole and

Established a tax office there,

Then said Santa need understand

Taxable gifts he must declare

Each year for all combined gifts made.

This upset Santa and so he

Chose how these taxes would be paid.

The trip was done, the sleigh did be

Then landed upon the roof of

The tax office at the North Pole,

The reindeer instructed above

By Santa on his payment goal.

Paid installments, not just one lump,

As each reindeer did take a dump.
