Problems can be small; Problems can be big. I'm having a problem With my thingamajig. Too much information, Some might say. But it's a kind of problem You can't wish away. When they are new, They work like a dream. Everything flows In a steady stream. But as they get older, Like many things--I swear-- They start showing A lot of wear and tear. I'm sure you could Make a funny quip; But it isn't funny When they start to drip. One could try to stop The dripping with one's hand. But obviously, It won't go as planned. I often wonder what Freud might have said. The problem's not unique; It's fairly widespread. It really doesn't help To squeeze it or strike it. Where can I find Another one just like it? There HAS to be someone Who could repair it. Or do I have to Simply grin and bear it? I can't ignore the problem; It won't disappear. A LEAKY FAUCET is A pain in the rear! - by Bob B (3-18-17)

My Thingamajig
Problems can be small; Problems can be big. I'm having a problem With my thingamajig. Too much information, Some might say. But it's a kind of problem You can't wish away. When they are new, They work like a dream. Everything flows In a steady stream. But as they get older, Like many things--I swear-- They start showing A lot of wear and tear. I'm sure you could Make a funny quip; But it isn't funny When they start to drip. One could try to stop The dripping with one's hand. But obviously, It won't go as planned. I often wonder what Freud might have said. The problem's not unique; It's fairly widespread. It really doesn't help To squeeze it or strike it. Where can I find Another one just like it?
