Your Acerbic Wit

Your acerbic wit makes others feel shit

Often profound but not funny

And right on the money

It cuts like a knife and causes strife

But you're oblivious to this

When you're taking the piss

Your words, they hurt

Waspish and curt

But well thought out

To give maximum clout

You're like a poisonous snake

A small scale earthquake

The words that you utter

Make your victims stutter

I don't condone the way that you talk

The way you cut your prey down like a drug addled hawk

But i admire your disambiguation

The way your bile train stops at the station

A social dysfunction

Pausing only at junctions

Facilitating human interactions

Creating reactions for your own satisfaction

A human time bomb

Wit delivered with aplomb

I admire you and your sense of no regret

Your brain is your biggest asset

People often say 'i wish i'd said that'

Le espirit de escalier at the drop of a hat

If only we all had your mind

In comparison our brains are resigned

To the mundanity of life-unstreamlined

Regardless of this you have a soft side

A part of you i love but you hide

You are kind and funny

You don't care about money

You're clever yet uncomplicated

You should be celebrated

I adore you my sweet

You make me complete.
