Quatrain of Refusing Gently

Refusing Gently - rarely works

When you refuse gently, it is
often construed as
no refusal at
all,

Often, it must be done rudely
to be accepted,
poke the
eyeball.

No one wishes to hear you do
not accept what
they truly
endeavor,

If your rejection does not want
to be misread, refuse
sharply, pull the truth
lever.
