“Tender the goods to me immediately!
I’ve no time for your excuses!
I want the merchandise now,
wanted it weeks, months, years ago, in fact!”
Such a conversation may get the goods,
but it will burn all our bridges in the process!
Patience is always best, though it can be difficult.
I guess that’s why they say
Patience is a virtue!
