Least said...soonest mended

Does not appeal to the easily offended.

They look around eagerly, seeking to get

On the unctuous side of being upset.

 

They trot out the "isms", (their bible in life),

Ever pious of pose, they'll disguise the knife

Of righteous riposte till the time is thought right

To drive home the blade in sanctimonious delight!.

 

They are found all around us, holier than thou,

And there certainly seems to be more of them now.

It's hoped - but as yet that remains just a rumour -

They'll develop what most people know as good humour
