The 'Accountants can be fun' poem

Accountants can be fun
Mine often makes me snigger
As he enthuses over Balance Sheets
And row upon row of figures 

Accountants can be fun
It's really quite uplifting
When they come up with a survival plan
And tell you "Trends are shifting" 

Accountants can be fun
They take gruesome returns in their stride
It's better to have them working for you
Than be on the other side 

Accountants can be fun
They just love Red Tape
It's good to let them "Talk you through"
Whilst listening to their japes

Accountants can be fun
You have to give them credit
Their faces light up infectiously
If you sign their Direct Debit 

Accountants can be fun
Just give them chance to shine
You may find to your amazement
That they're real rib-ticklers like mine 

Accountants have the last laugh
It really is quite eerie
They charge you if they get it wrong.
And they charge you for a query.
