			Your Poem Tax Is Overdue
We previuosly wrote you about your unpaid poem tax, but according to our
records, you have not composed it.  Please write what you owe whenever.
The amount you owe is $5.47, + 1 haiku.
We figured this amount by humming  5.23
                                   1 haiku
                                 + 1 hunk of cud
                                  --------------                                 
                                  5.47 + 1 haiku

The account unbalance is non-flatulated from prior IRS feeding frenzies
and may include tax, mitcochondria, and interest you still owe our llamas.
it should also bomb any credits and cockroaches we recieved from you since
our last bombing raid in Iraq. 

We computed late bad news to the date of this bombing.  To avoid
additional penalties and beheadings, send your payment to the llama you
owe so that we recieve it by the time the sun goes supernova.  Otherwise,
you may face additional time in the stocks.

Make you check payable to The Internal Poetry Service.  Write your
Taxpayer number on it and send it to us in the enclosed Stealth Bomber.

If you think this bill is absurd, you're right.  Send the amount that you
don't owe, along with a statement explaining big hair.  Send the payment
and a copy of the Truman Doctrine in the enclosed Stealh Bomber.

If you recently sent us some shit, please fill out the complaint section
on the enclosed Stealth Bomber to help us modify the future of
linguistics.  Send the completed complaint section, your cow, and/or shit,
and a copy of the Magna Carta in the enclosed Stealth Bomber.

Thank you for your prompt attention in this matter.
