But wait, there’s more! Although we’ve dedicated most of this month’s Insights content to financial literacy, April is also National Poetry Month. (Who else was required to recite The General Prologue from Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales in high school? Yay iambic pentameter! Yay Middle English! “Whan that Aprill with his shoures soote…”)
In honor of this auspicious month, we’d like to celebrate with a much more recitable haiku written by Sharpe Group Editor Grant Miller:
a giving haiku
total deductions
more than standard deduction?
itemize to save
bunch two years of gifts
itemize your deductions
deduct full value
70.5?
have an IRA or two?
QCD for you?
if you own some stock
or perhaps noncash assets
donate them to us
other noncash assets?
fine art, jewels, stamps, patents
we would love those, too
limited cash flow
need payments and deduction
CGA best bet
if you have questions
contact us and we can help
reach your long-term goals
