An offbeat joke lands...

Mouths fall open suddenly...

Should I laugh or not?

    I’d laugh. If you have to stop and think then it’s politics not poetry. Great thought provoking haiku and I must try one/some myself so thanks for the inspiration too.

    I say, yes...you should laugh. We are far too serious these days (Ii know there can be moments not to, as well...) But for the sake of the haiku...laugh baby

    I love some dark humor… but past a certain point guilty laughs actually hurt.

  • If it's funny, yes, remember others my not be that intelligent to understand 😁

    Ah, the socially awkward situation. If it has the potential to hurt or insult those who are not present in the audience, I generally don’t laugh. I believe you should be able to say it to their face. Excellent haiku, Tiffany.

  • Love it 😀 ❤️
