This poem was written because the defense to someone’s crappy actions was ‘he’s just a deep thinker! Total. Bollocks.

*

Because he’s a really deep thinker

It seems that he’s often unfair

But all of his time is spent thinking

He does not have time to care

Because he’s a really deep thinker

His relationships all end up shallow

Girls just give up and leave him

And say (very wrongly) he’s callow

Because he’s a really deep thinker

People don’t give him enough chances

They say that he’s dull, he’s got nothing

They miss all those meaningful glances

Because he’s a really deep thinker

His bedroom reputation is bad

He takes but he doesn’t like giving

It’s deep thinking, it’s not he’s a cad

Because he’s a really deep thinker

His whims and hobbies don’t last all that long

Most things are not worth his effort

It’s all in the thinking, don’t get it wrong

Because he’s a really deep thinker

He and his friends deserve much more than you

His value, understand, is much higher

Base kindness he can afford to eschew
