He needs to come to the waters more

My word: loyal

It's him again,
he can be such a pain:
he's always asking for my aid
to undo all mistakes he's made
(with all the voices that I hear,
each day, each month, each year!)
Although he's meaning well
and yes, with lots to tell,
he can be such a pain. 
It's him again...

This has a clever, almost whimsical rhythm—like a lighthearted lament with deeper emotional weight underneath. The repetition of “It’s him again” adds a relatable touch of exasperation, while the word “loyal” quietly threads through the speaker’s devotion. Nicely done!
