The Lamb Scam

Mary had a little lamb
She sold it's fleece in sacks.
And when the I R S found out.
They demanded Income Tax!
But Mary didn't pay a cent.
She said, Try that for 'sighs.'
I just got me a CROOK lawyer.
And pulled the wool over their eyes.
****
Yeah, but that's not the latest
They traced her little scam.
And sent the F B I to get her
So she tried to take it on the lamb.
But the lamb said, Oh, no! you fleeced me.
And you know what that will mean.
As long as I don't abet you.
They'll declare that I am clean!
****
PS.
But she only had a true reserve
Of just three dollar bills.
So Mary now is doing time.
While the lamb spends her ILL GOTTEN GAINS,
Living HIGH and buying frills.
