Answer:

Epigram

Step-by-step explanation:

Epigram is a brief poetic composition that expresses a single main thought, festive or satirical, in an ingenious way. The Epigram was created in Classical Greece and, as the meaning of the term indicates, was an inscription that was placed on an object - a statue or a tomb, for example.
