WHY DIRECTED SARCASM HURTS

–

Was poked by a “mere Reader,”

In whose sarcasm I found obscure…

Reasoning

He thought it joking

Apparently not that I’d feel skewered!

–

Sarcasm in therory is fine,

Til your friends form a firing line…

In Speech class it happened

The whole class came a-rappin’

And I didn’t get out so fine!

–

In Word Press courtesy

Is better than uncaringly…

Shooting from hips

(This includes my lips),

Then in FACEBOOK you can act unfriendly!

–

If you don’gt like my stuff, ignore it,

If it interests you–explore it–

But an out-of-the-blue shot’

Mature speech is not,

I ask you to care…I implore it!
