When
Every so often
Every now and then
Once in a while
Time and again
From time to time
Sometimes at best
Only occasionally
If only a guess
Rarely or seldom
Periodically at times
Only sporadically
Intermittent sometimes
Frequently or often
Rarely not routine
Habitually and regularly
Customarily it seems
When does it happen
When will it occur
When will I know
Or do I just endure
