Some people are so shameless.
Unabashed, they may take away
a chunk of your life
from your busy schedule.
Polite people unwittingly suffer.
If such a situation is to be precluded
one has to feign excuses
right from the beginning
when somebody starts borrowing time
and no interest is in sight.
But polite people will still suffer.
For shameless people do not shy away
from committing theft on your time
for their own ends.
One only learns the skill over time
after many a dip
in the life's course.
