Analysis of Systematic Encounters
I've searched right here. I've searched right there.
It feels like I've searched everywhere
To find new friends that I can trust
Who don't want me for cash or lust.
I do not want transparent praise
Or claims expressed in many ways
Of how they want to know me well
While setting up their schemes to tell
Me how they have large needs for cash
But when they fail, they're "sad" or brash
So, I do pay attention to
Their words to learn what might be true,
Because about a dozen tried
But failed since I found they had lied!
