Drip, drip, drip and drip,
Continually going,
Drip, drip, drip and drip,
Throughout my attempted sleep.
Turn it tighter, close the door.

Drip, drip, drip and drip,
It’s only a sound
And when I go there to look
Why did not the faucet keep
Why the need to tighten more?

A ghost turning on
Water for a haunting drink
So I hide and wait
Forgoing the dreams of sleep
Awaiting the sound once more.

Then by the dark sink
A form performs in the dark
Then, drip, drip and drip,
It’s a Phantom so discreet
And it drinks a little more.

(I have three cats, Saturn, Phantom, and Pan)

for a minute there I thought it was going to be your roof...

Phantom's pretty smart.
