This is the result of a #skirmish hosted by @tarahenton based on the beginning phrase, "Running out of..." The song that you hear was written and recorded in the hour, but needs a third verse or a bridge or both to finish it off. (Since the session ended at lunch time in my time zone, I took care of my tummy before posting. The way to a man's heart, you know.)

And, true confessions, the sentiment expressed may reflect my wife's view rather than mine. Just sayin'.

I’m running out of patience, I’m on a short fuse I’m running out of patience with you I’m running out of patience, and you don’t even try I’m running out of patience with you

All the little things you do add up to something big I want things to run smoothly but you don’t give a fig The corn broom’s in the closet, it never sees the day You don’t see the needs of life, you only want to play

I’m running out of patience, I’m on a short fuse I’m running out of patience with you I’m running out of patience, and you don’t even try I’m running out of patience with you

The obvious is lost on you, I really don’t know why All the things left undone make me want to cry Look at life around you, you can make it right If you just lend a helping hand before we say good night

I’m running out of patience, I’m on a short fuse I’m running out of patience with you I’m running out of patience, and you don’t even try I’m running out of patience with you
