Quips are
there, sexist, castist or racist.
Cartoons are
there on popular figures.
Mimicry is
there of well known leaders.
Satire is
there, political, formal and personal.
Jesters are
patronized in the court of king.
Jokers are
welcome in a gathering.
Comedians are
in the play for a laugh.
Fools speak
authors’ voice in their works.
Jokes are born of
the grain of sadism.
Freedom of
expression is of no use
If there is no
sanction of right to offend.
Jokes were mild
that humiliated none.
Satire has a
reformist agenda.
It can hold up
a mirror to the flaws.
Satire is a
teaching to the teacher.
There was no
suit against any jokers.
Taking jokes in
a lighter vein is gone.
Jokes give glee
to jokers and listeners
And anger to
the one who’s referred to.
So make fun of
a mouse or a mongoose.
