Every six months I must file my
Tax for my book sales.
I sell them out of my closet and this
Period I owed only $5 in sales tax.
But the procedure of going online
Sends panic down my spine.
It happened again today.
I needed to get assistance just to
Log on.
And then after trying to complete
Page after page of confusing information
I called for help again.
I discovered I was mistakenly filling
Out forms for a vendor's license.
But the man assisting me was a gem.
He was extremely helpful and easy to
Understand since he had no accent.
Without the least bit of annoyance he
Helped me step by step through the
Whole process till I was finished.
"You're an answer to prayer," I nearly
Shouted into the phone.
I could sense his smile.
I wish I had asked his name so I could have
Passed my gratitude along.
Now, I'll stash away my fear and trepidation for
Another six months.
(And pray that the same gentleman will
Be on the help line.)
