Turning the Other Cheek

he kicked him with left foot on his chest,
bit his fingers with ardent delight,
emptied bladder on his bright white vest!

the victim laughed as if all was right,
hugged offender with love albeit,
then kissed both his cheeks in show of jest!

So here is a lesson from teachings of Christ,
In the love of a father for his infant child!

Interesting fun write, was wondering why would victim laugh until I read last line. Your poems lighten my mood, keep the funny ones flowing. Laughter is best medicine.
