A short poem with a witty or sarcastic ending is a/an __________
Answer Details
The answer is "epigram".
An epigram is a short, witty poem or statement that often has a surprising or sarcastic ending. It is meant to be clever and to make the reader think. The ending of an epigram often turns the meaning of the poem or statement on its head, using irony or satire to make a point or to poke fun at something. In contrast, a ballad is a narrative poem that tells a story, an allegory is a story or poem that uses characters or events to represent abstract ideas, and a panegyric is a poem that praises someone or something.
