Sarcasm has it's comic use,
But never should it bring abuse.
It often has a cutting edge.
It's careless use can "drive a wedge".
Innuendo is it's tool,
Which some would use as ridicule.
It's painful twist can send a dart
Which hurts and wounds another's heart.
Sarcasm should have careful screening,
Lest we speak with two-pronged meaning.
It isn't useful commentary
And simply isn't necessary.
