A Matter of Acquisition

Relay to me again the knowledge I
Seek; for the mind is ready to glean it.
Give over to me by the end of the
Week; do not engage me with petty wit.
Entrust the information to me, this
Parcel; as a runner passes the torch.
Give to me what will make my abstract mind
So full; or your great intellect I will scorch.
Yet dally not with the time or the place,
For I have many things to do in time.
I'll give you reason, so you may save face,
That should be reason to keep you in line.
Riddles I seek cannot be understood
Without the keys you do keep, those I could.
