You want me to laugh?

You want me to laugh?
I'll laugh if it's funny,
A look at the world through a lens of irony,
Something that's true,
An ingenious reflection on what we do.

You want me to laugh?
I will not laugh if it's harsh,
If you degrade a person or use words that are crass,
Stab in the back,
Take a cheap hit to hide your lack.

I am able to laugh,
But it must be earned:
You'll have to work for it, an art well learned.
Hide your stupidity,
Your arrogant ignorance, and have some morality.
