A dripping faucet



                                                         Drip drop, drip drop,
                                                       I stare, annoyed. How do
            I stop this endless noise? It echoes deep inside my mind.
        With every drop, I go insane. With a firm wrench, I did my best
                                                       But I dare say this pipe is demonic.

                                                                               *
                                                                               It
                                                                            mocks
                                                                           me now,
                                                                         Each drip, A
                                                                          song..Drip
                                                                              drop,
                                                                 drip
                                                               drop, it
                                                              seems to
                                                             moan. I sit
                                                          and stare at this
                                                         faucet gloats, I'm

Lol love this Lasaad. I know exactly how you feel. I love how you were tormented but were even more tormented when the bill came. Been there done that. I felt each drop and I could have swore I had this experience at least once in my life. Thank you for sharing my friend. Been gone and will be leaving to help my brother for a week or so... Talk to you later...

Hello Sotto, Plumbing does cost big bucks when it is a big job that needs to be done. Enjoy your day my friend. Aloha!/Darlene/
