Requesting Yet Another Rest

I know you don't think,
That for me this has been exhausting.
But...
Is it possible you can change your riding position,
On my back.
Or at least rid some of those snacks you carry?

'Complaints!
That's all I hear from you.
What else are you doing?
And don't say...
The directions I have given you are incorrect.
Are you requesting yet 'another' rest?

When are you going to learn,
To show me more appreciation?
And don't act like you are too out of breath to answer.
Just the other day I was telling someone,
How ungrateful you are.
Here! Take this cookie.'
