Tort Case in Verse - Emotional Distress

Irvin v. Smith, 654 N.E.2d 189 (C.P. Ohio 1993)

Case about a jilted fiance who brought an action for emotional distress  after the defendant reneged on the betrothal. Opinion concludes:

And so closes this sad story,
At least in the books of the Court,
As the Court finds that Plaintiff has not alleged
That which is an actionable tort.
The within cause is hereby ordered dismissed
With the Plaintiff bearing the cost,
And with this advice in the parting,
Love never won can't be lost.
