Persistence

Oh, no, here it comes again
Plagued by that same nagging score,
Like that fussy Fuller Brush Man 
Knock-knock-knocking on my door
Like the (ding-dong) Avon lady
Hawking, squawking evermore,
Runs around in circles like
A rowboat sculled by just one oar.

If I say it oft enough
Perhaps you’ll take it to be true.
Not so sure if that reflects
More shamefully on me or you.
But many pacts and promises are
Rubber-stamped without a clue
Because some unrelenting fool
Refused to drop the other shoe.

In truth of truth, to close a plan and
Bring it to fruition
Requires a resolute someone
Persistent in his mission.
