Possible ignition system fault. Next time just wait a minute then retry.

Do you have a lot of keys and things on your key chain? If so my guess is the ignition lock. It may also be a relay.

BTW for most of us ALL UPPER CASE is very difficult to read and it is considered shouting and I don’t like to be shouted at, so how about loosing the ALL CAPS.
