Nick Trim Poet Rhyme

Banter

If they have to point out it is banter
cus you didn’t realise it as banter
As they left no clue it was banter
The simple fact is it’s not banter

Banter’s quick wit the sort with charm
not blunt brain dead comments which harm
banters apparent with its own alarm
you know to reply with words not arms

Some will insult you then say what it is
banter they say but the humour's a miss
the standard they bant to tells you just this
have they a brain or a head full of piss

One reason banter is something some hate
Many don’t get it run their lip like an ape
after an insult “it’s just banter mate”
pointing it out then banter it ain’t

Acting a prat is a different thing too
don’t justify actions stupid you do 
a prat you are and stupid are you
It’s not banter not close I tell you true

Banter only works against a near IQ
you can’t banter with someone much dumber than you
Banter is something the dumb do different
They are not canny or clever they’re just a blunt

Jan Allison August 9, 2019 at 12:19 PM well penned Nick words can sting just as much as fists but some folk have no sense of humour and wouldn't recognise banter of any sort!:-) hugs jan xx Nick Trim November 3, 2019 at 7:36 AM lol thanks Jan, it's when you think its an attack, because it's not witty or funny and sounds like an insult because it is an insult but they dont realise its an insult because saying it is funny to them because it is true and wouldn't normally say it cus in another situation they would realise it is nasty
