Let us PAYE



TiengAnhVui.Com

The above was a headline in the Sun on August 25, about a special service to be held for the taxman of all things.



They came up with this delightful little poem in the style of the Lord's prayer:-



Our evaders

Who art in havens

How low be thy shame.

Thy tax return come

It must be done

In the Bahamas, as it is in Devon.

Give us your pay, your daily bread

And forgive us our assessors

As we forgive those who

Self-assess against us

And lead us not into exemptions

But deliver us your eBills.

For mine is the income, the power

And the Tory (chancellor),

For ever and ever.

Amen
