Budget

I crunch the numbers, I add them up

But will the sum of them fill my cup?

I cut down here, I roll it back

shaving and saving, clickety clack

go the calculator keys, as I add and subtract

But I need magic, not math, that’s the tragic fact. 

I do my best through thick and thin

But the IRS seems to always win

It’s scary, trying to make this budget

Sometimes I just want to say ‘oh fudge it’
