These annual bills! these annual bills! <br />How many a song their discord trills <br />Of 'truck' consumed, enjoyed, forgot, <br />Since I was skinned by last year's lot! <br /> <br />Those joyous beans are passed away; <br />Those onions blithe, O where are they? <br />Once loved, lost, mourned-now vexing ILLS <br />Your shades troop back in annual bills! <br /> <br />And so 'twill be when I'm aground <br />These yearly duns will still go round, <br />While other bards, with frantic quills, <br />Shall damn and damn these annual bills!<br /><br />Mark Twain<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/those-annual-bills-2/
