Trouble Brewing - a Poem for dVerse Quadrille

    Found Stuff from Drawers


 A Gasp and a Half 


Twenty-four hours ago 

I called the IRS 

Younger voice answered me

I had money to pay                      16


Was told I had to have

an ID in my file

She looked to see, was there?

Info ID needed                              20


I gasped out loud 

Of those I've none                         . 8

                                                    44 words
