This poem has the most unexpected jaunty style and a fearless attitude toward death. One way to disarm a tyrant is to laugh at him. Weaken him by exposing his pretensions for ridicule That's what happens here but beware - When Osip Mandelstamm mocked Stalin's moustache the tyrant destroyed his life.
