A quick quip

is the clever tongues whip.

How violent is a laugh

to demean or cut in half

The weaponry of comedy

is ssurely bloody scenery.

A laugh always comes at a price.

Someone must pay for a lovable play, 

and humor is a tumor

malignant not benevolent.

The easiest ways are behind closed doors and backs.

"Hush now, they’ll hear our thoughts"

so queer, so clear, so close, but not dear.

close your ears, our words sharp as tacks.
