Lampoons are whit’s soul for the body satire.
Like Blazing Saddles’ famous cowboy campfire.
It explores new somethings we all know are true.
Finds laughter in Miss Haps & Miss Fortunes too.
Good crack ups like Tom Lehrer’s Vatican Rag.
Too, just about the whole of magazine MAD.
Oscar Wilde was best & Shakespeare near the first…
To ignite pop cultures & status quos burst.
Making fun’s the best way to process the ick.
Making bad big things small even cures the sick.
All joking aside, just look for your funny.
Cleave close to anything that makes dark sunny.
