Ask the semantics ace

Ridicule is to show how good 
it is to know how weak or foul 
the false strong and respectable 
are behind prop, pose, façade
by which they cow and gull 
the idiot, the dupe, plus any 
one they can. 

That's not what ridicule is! 

What? Oh shit - sorry! No, 
that's how it is. I wasn't saying 
what! What's...what, isn't it? 
It's just what. We all know 
what, right? 

So WHAT IS it? Ridicule!

Welp, ridicule is the natural 
fruit of any ridiculous growth!
It's almost inevitable, the more 
ridiculously it grows, peeping 
out or looming up behind inadequate 
front. Peeps see! Some wag points! 
IT OUT. Inevitable, or at any rate 
of ridiculous growth...a natural 
outcome. To be expected! Yet...
so few of the ridiculous, those 
of ridiculous growths, budding, 
blooming, branching towards 
an untoward (to them) fruition
expect it! WHY - or why not?
Taken in by own prop, show, pose
most like! Maybe they fooled or
stunted
themselves. Façades tend to limit 
growth wholesome and unwholesome,
that is, unless one doesn't mind the 
cracks wise - or otherwise. Unwise. 

Maybe. Hm. OK. That is true. Sorry!
It sounded like you didn't know what 
you were talking about. Got it.  

No problemo! I knew what you meant. 
Or what I meant, anyhow. It both comes 
together okay,

if anyone's asking.
