Wednesday

Robert Steadman
He said it would be done by Thursday.
It wasn't.
He said it would definitely be finished by Friday.
It wasn't.
He said he just needed the weekend.
It would be with me first thing on Monday morning.
I said ok, but was beginning to lose my patience.
Monday arrived and Monday went.
It wasn't done.
He asked for one more chance.
I agreed.
He said it would be complete by Wednesday.
Definitely. Absolutely.
It would be finished by Wednesday.
There was no need to worry any more.
Wednesday arrived.
Wednesday went.
It wasn't completed.
He wasn't good at deadlines.
