Thoughts On a Jezebel

Because she was a buxom blonde and he lacked a sage Adviser, (like a naïve fresh off the pond) he fell for and idealized her. If he had been but the wiser and much more careful with his heart as if he were a mean miser, he’d have ne’er been fooled right from the start. Poems for one of cheap, impure heart make the Poet look un-clever and like a fool, which is not smart: hence his case from her did he sever! A lesson learned late than never is much better than to be fooled, played, conned, gulled and duped forever— and so in her cheap wont he is schooled.
