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
