Innocence of Teasing
Twisting brain cells
by the synapses,
Erasing joyful little
jokes with backhanded
compliments,
Affection misdemeanors
in the tinted
grins,
Sticking comedy on
sarcastic skewers
to fry,
Imaginative wordplay
add insult to injury,
Naming faults with
cold, humorless
precision,
Ginger apologies made
with eyes confused by
English madness.
[TEASING]
