CFO

By Ellen Younkins

I'm inundated with paper
the taxes soon due.
I'm the CFO of the household
and it's just us two.

I add and subtract and
write the check
and at the end of the night
I have a pain in my neck.

When the bills are all paid
and my work is done
all I can say is that this
is not very much fun.
