The Satirist's Love Song

Our love is a great work of satire.

A subtle critique.

Postmodern, a mocking masterpiece

right up there with the Greek.

I've been satirizing ever since

the first day we met.

Our love is a great work of satire

that you just didn't get.

Every time we kissed

it was right up there with Swift.

Red roses and champagne...

It was right up there with Twain.

Our love is my personal soapbox now.

A sarcastic affair

exploding with irony and burlesque

right up there with Voltaire.

I meant not single tender word

that I ever said.

Our love is a great work of satire

that flew over your head.

Flew over your head.
