Don't Speak to Me in Tongues
#2
Billy, I'm afraid I'm not able to give you a full critique at this time, but I really do love that last stanza especially (although if it were mine, I'd put "fly" on the line preceding, and break after it, just to take full effect of the rhyme). The first stanza may possibly be -- and I can't believe I'm even going to suggest it -- overly laden with puns. I know that "sin tax" and "academia nuts" in particular have been a little overused in the past and they may actually detract from the cleverness of your poem.

I will return for proper critique later.
It could be worse
