    Unallowable

    By Robert S. Steinberg, Law Offices of Robert S. Steinberg, Palmetto Bay, FL

    (To the tune of Unforgettable by Irving Gordon as recorded by Nat King Cole and by Natalie Cole in a mix with Nat King Cole.)

    Unallowable,
    I swear out loud.
    My investment fees
    Now disallowed.

    And employees who had union dues
    They could deduct, now all sing the blues.
    They’re paying more
    Than they did before.

    Unallowable,
    With rage I burn.
    Tax preparer fees
    For my return.

    All those receipts, no use saving them
    When a Congress bent on shaving them
    Has made most things unallowable now.

    Unallowable,
    That car so tired
    Driven for the sales
    Or you’d get fired.
    Corporate big wigs can still get the fluff
    While employees can’t deduct the stuff.
    Most everything is unallowable now.
