Time to respond
Time to respond
Never say no
But go
Slow in reply
Never hastily try
It is politeness
That is seen on face
When you are replying with firmness
And that is reflected when you say no or yes
But be in control
With your answer call
The sky will not fall
If you respond with “no” to all
They will know what your silence is meant
And that shall be present
In your sturdy silence
Now he will become tense
So tackle it in simple way
And show you are not going away
But may need time to respond
With some more time at the end
