There was something I wanted. So I asked for it. I knew someone who could give it to me, it wouldn't cost them much at all.
In May I asked in person. Yes, they said, yes I could have it.
Nothing.
Six days later, I asked again. Nothing.
Well, I didn't need it until September, so that's OK.
In July, I asked again. Politely, but firmly. Nothing.
In August, I talked to them about something else, so I knew they were in touch.
So I asked again. Politely. Firmly.
Nothing.
Time was running out. If I didn't get it from them, I didn't know what I was going to do.
So I asked again. Urgently. Just a little desperately.
Yes. Yes, I'd be happy to help you. Here's the thing you need.
