Well You'Re Not

I must take umbrage with this phrase I’ve heard it stated in multiple ways The essential nature of it goes like this I’ve asked you to do this already The implication that one is obligated to perform Simply by the act of asking something of them What kind of self- important attitude allows That your request out ways the consent of the asked And even if consented to the asked party should Lose control of the time frame to complete the task I’ve heard parents, teachers, bosses, politician’s, preachers, husbands, wives, All succumb to the notion as if it was a magic potion I asked therefore it creates an obligation by which I should be obliged in my machinations Well You’re not!
