Hashya, Vyangya And Vakrokti Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Hashya, humour,
Vyangya, satire,
Vakrokti, oblique approach,
Irony, doublespeak,
Overtones and undertones,
Fun, pun, joke, comic.

The art of satire,
The satirist,
The art of the cartoonist
And his cartooning,
How to caricature,
Crack jokes?

Satire taunts, jibes
With malice and vengeance,
Hatred and ill-will,
Like rubbing of salt on wounds,
Humour lightly,
Cracking of jokes.

The oblique approach,
Slanting speech and statement,
Vertically, horizontally crossing,
Interfering, intercepting
Commenting, critiquing adversely
Full of reverse swings.
