[Seraphim]

Great poem again, thanks!

Some think that Casey's been a fool
For falling for a total tool.
But lots of my more clever mates
Have fallen for lothario dates.

Their slimey schemes and conniving tricks
Are proof they're devious, heartless pricks.
They flatter and flirt, promise and lie:
It's easy to see through the camera's eye.

But Casey only heard her part.
Lee's puppy love ensnared her heart.
His simple mutt act might fool some
But that guy's anything but dumb.

He knows so well what lines to spin
To reel his trusting victims in.
If Casey's dumb then so are we
Cos at the start we all liked Lee.

Is it wrong to share good times and jokes?
And trust in likeable, matey folks?
Is it wrong to think you've found someone
Who really shares your sense of fun?

Is it wrong to fall in love at all
When you've both been having such a ball?
How could Casey know he was such a prat,
A remorseless, cold, deceptive rat?

It's not dumb to trust and care and hope.
It's not dumb to forgive and try to cope.
If we didn't, then we'd never love at all:
And pretty soon our world would fall.

Without trust, we'd not have any friends.
Without hope, we'd come to bitter ends.
Without love, mothers would simply skive:
Their babies wouldn't stay alive.

Though Casey's not read many books
And makes her living from her looks,
It's not kind to say that she's simply dumb
For falling for such worthless scum.

She's not the first, she's not the last,
Women and men, future and past.
I'd rather a month with Casey B
Than a second spent with Lothario Lee.
