An offbeat joke lands...
Mouths fall open suddenly...
Should I laugh or not?

Never laugh, the joke may be at your expense. I agree with Dani, the yawn works.

Don't laugh! Time for the 'camouflage yawn' to buy time for your next move π Interesting entry for the challenge!
It depends. Great entry to the Challenge! I am so glad to see you writing frequently on Vocal. π₯°Keep spreading your sunshine.
Haha! I know this feeling!
Interesting poem. I say laugh if the joke is funny to you!!! π€£π€£π
Very nice!
Yes, laugh it off! Someone once said I have a morbid sense of humor because of some of the things I laugh at. Whatever. They don't get it, lol. Nicely done, Tiffa!
I agree it depends upon the context, delivery and person and if itβs even funny to begin with. Hmm. βΊοΈπ
Life's too serious not to laugh sometimes. Of course, it depends really on the joke...
Iβd laugh. If you have to stop and think then itβs politics not poetry. Great thought provoking haiku and I must try one/some myself so thanks for the inspiration too.
LAUGH!
Oh, wow! I know that moment. If it's standup, yeah, laugh!! π
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.
Oh yes babe you need to laugh ππππππππ
If it's funny, yes, remember others my not be that intelligent to understand π
Ah, the socially awkward situation. If it has the potential to hurt or insult those who are not present in the audience, I generally donβt laugh. I believe you should be able to say it to their face. Excellent haiku, Tiffany.
Love it π β€οΈ
This one made me smile. ππ€πΈπ
Hahahahahahhahaha you should!
