Braggarts and bimbos,
Make good company.
Fools and flatterers,
Become great friends.
The naive and the gullible,
Are attached for life.
But the true and the wise,
Always pay a heavy price:
Like Joan of Arc, Randall Wallace,
Burnt and bled by cutlasses.
Such is the reality of this world,
You give a rose, a spear is hurled!
