Mocking and scoffing, jeer.

Witty jest, try not to hear.

Quite sarcastic and sharp,

A really cunning remark.

A practical joke, a trick.

A real gibe, make it stick.

Not either of those, sorry. And thanks for the add back ;)

cut

Probably would've guessed this earlier, but I persistently saw "cunning" as "cutting" and knew you wouldn't do something like that ... but since I'm a moron & you didn't, now I can! :duh::P:lol:

Not that sorry. Nice to see you though. Keep those guesses coming please!

The riddle rewrite:

Mocking and scoffing, jeer.

Witty jest, not very sincere.

Quite sarcastic and sharp,

A really cunning remark.

A practical joke, a trick.

A real gibe, make it stick.

made me think of "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift, so my guess would be

"Modest" it's not; to draw attention

Toward a revolting, foul disgrace

Clearly it states his apprehension:

Satire's the way he made the case
