I'm Not Vain - But I Think This Rhyme's A Little About Me Poem by George Stanworth

Now Government's need revenue,
that really is a fact;
to pay for schools, and hospitals,
(or moats, and things like that.)

But how they raise that revenue
is really of concern,
now that I've turned 43
and my body's on the turn.

I hope they don't tax all big noses,
haemorrhoids or halitosis.
Tax the handsome, tax the vain!
Tax Piers Morgan more again!

I hope they don't tax all verrucas,
spots, and those that have large hooters.
Don't tax warts, arthritis, sores.
Tax those with no ailments more!

Please don't ever tax big noses,
flatulence and halitosis.
Tax the handsome, tax the vain.
Tax John Terry more again!

Tax the healthy, tax the well.
Tax all those that never smell.
Tax the one's in perfect health.
Tax all those who aren't myself.

Tax the swimmers, tax the sun,
tax all those that like to run!
Tax all those with model poses,
but NEVER those with larger noses!
