When Is A Drip More Than Just A Drip
Is It Time To Call The Plumber ?
I hear one drip and then another
How long has the faucet been dripping ?
In the past my father use to tightened the faucet
Then the water finally stopped
If not it could need a new washer
An easy replacement
A trip to the local hardware store
Now you can go to Home Depot
You can even ask the man in the plumbing department
If it can't be fixed
He might recommend a new sink faucet
Instead of the old hot and cold separate knobs
They have one that is both
You pay a little more but it does the trick
Maybe it is even made better
I could put a bowl in the sink
To catch the water
I remember my father saying
You wouldn't believe how many gallons of water is wasted
I wish I paid more attention to what my father was doing
Because I didn't have the right tools
If I did the wrong thing
I could have a major problem real fast
As the hour passed
I couldn't concentrate on anything else
It is amazing how a simple drip of water
Can get all the attention
The funny thing is this drip is on purpose
We have our sink on an outside wall
Growing up we both were told to leave the water running ever so slightly
To prevent the pipes from freezing
If they freeze then you have one big problem on your hands

AuthorI am amazed how a little drip can save the day. If you listen to the drip long enough it has it's own little beat. It doesn't need all different sounds. Just one that is unique[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[. Like nothing I have ever heard. Thank you for visiting and sharing your views. It means a lot to me.
This is truly a unique poem, and one that I have never before encountered as the subject matter being that of a “drip”.
Many people write about Love, Animals, Feelings, ETC, but this is an entirely new subject for me! Great job!
