Job@hand

A mock epic

Job@hand

I declare, I declare
to be lost in VAT,
like to a sea
of numbers, wave
after wave
counting time (T minus
twenty days)
while the banks issue
statement after statement –
do I have a voice

in their invoices?

No life for the wife!

T minus fifteen days,
already, yet more
amounts payable on
declaration,
still a hundred to go,

while my renumeration
is a vacation
at T minus zero,
(two whole weeks
with my wife!).
The end of the month acts
as a beacon, a lighthouse,
beached on the horizon -

when I can declare
to be done with VAT
(for now), a hero
to the clients
for a job well done.
