Your desperation
leads me to exasperation
How many times do I tell you?
How many times did I tell you?
How many times will I tell you?
Too many.
Once more.
If you do it when you’re asked
Begin when assigned the task
You will not be desperate
and I will not exasperate.
Shawn L. Bird 
He who hesitates is frost.
oh the pretty bird
plucked a nerve!
i struggle with this often, but from the other end
