Vicious Attacks In the Guise of Humor
Vicious Attacks in the Guise of Humor
By Elton Camp
“Where’s your sense of humor? I was just joking.”
This comes from a man that I’d like to be choking
People who get a laugh at someone else’s expense
Makes me wish that either I, or they, were far hence
Because such teasing comes from family or “friend,”
The outraged victim is not supposed himself to defend
The truly clueless continue such foolish talk to relate
After being seriously warned, “That I don’t appreciate.”
Those comments that one’s appearance or traits ridicule
Really show that the speaker is mostly an ignorant mule
Personally, I have decided that I will not take it anymore
“Don’t talk to me like that, you idiot. I’ve told you before.”
