Schadenfreude       [rubai]

Schadenfreude -- the friend of shame & shade

enjoys is sad delight in life's parade

the more the comic foibles gleam & glide

the brighter burns its sorry serenade


---------------

Occasioned by an opionion piece, "The Word You Dare Not Spell" (the latter involving ruminations on aspects of responses to the Kaavya Viswanathan affair)
