Satire offers caustic, poetic soap
cleansing tongue and cerebral cortex
from the influence of boring cliché
that accretes on watching television
like gluttonous plaque clogging flow of blood
through linguistic areas of the brain
whose channels should be kept clean as kettles
scalded weekly to remove calcium.
*
Without satire the world is inane,
lame, stuttering nonsense and rabid noise
that offers a cacophony of pride
without a milligram of honesty.
*
Satire is a medical anointment
that generates cleansing accomplishment!
