Drip Drip Drip
Drip      Drip      Drip. 
Drip      drip        drip       drip     drip       drip       drip      drip    drip     drip        drip.
There is a persistent drip. 
This drip does not quit.  Or hit a different note. Or sit around in silence,  or make a funny joke. 
This drip is like a rhyme in a line from Dr Seuss. Dropping like a pebble, not floating like a kite. Descending in the evening, and onwards through the night. And the drip keeps dripping when I watch, and when it’s out of sight. 
One day it will stop, of course,  but not, oh not just yet. 
And it’s probably a metaphor for something. 
But what that something is
 I forget. 
Drip       drip     drip.
