Humor can unite
Lightening the mood
when we need a smile
Poking fun
at our shared absurdities
Group smiles soothe
a variety of calamities
but we sometimes can offend
even though
we did not intend
to wound bruised sensibilities
The humor we wield
can become a weapon
that cuts deep
Friends become enemies
at these perceived comedy slights
Maybe it's not right
but we really need
to always know our audience
lest the nuclear power of words
turns on us
and the explodes in our faces
