oh my patience

I have tried all the patience that people have had,
and let me tell you

your patience is bad.
Have you tried my patience? Fizzy! But sweet!
Chug-a-lug up, buttercup

because we have meat. And my patience

pairs perfect with beef. You could not ask
a
better
palate cleanse. I will swig and I'll sip
and I'll smile broad. Are we not

such friends? Could we not

pretend? I have no damn patience at all
for pretense! Unless - are there rules? Game on?

I thought we were sitting here understanding
ourselves! I apologize, dear

I think you won.
