All manner of Hell are in the dripping tap,
It’s a combination of pain that I’ve set out to map.
It’s a Hundred ‘Bell Jars’ rolled into one,
Seventy ‘Gloomy Sundays’ breaking in song.
Its a Thousand ‘Bedlam’s’ falling to the sink,
A Million Drum Beats that drive you to drink.
Some dozen potions Dr Jekyll had drunk,
With a couple of ‘Screams’ by Edvard Munch.
A dollop of ‘Inferno’ , Add Two Stephen Kings,
To a Soupçon of ‘Sauron’ from ‘Lord of the Rings’.
A pound of ‘Renfield’ eating flies in his Cell,
An Oz of old Charon and the river he dwells.
A slice of ‘Psycho’ when the blood starts to spurt,
With a portion of ‘Alien’ bursting John Hurt.
It’s a Gallon of Poe with his ‘Tell Tale Heart’,
To a Pint of the drill the Dentist imparts.
It’s every Drunk Singer condensed in a drip,
A Crèche load of Children in a Tizzy and a Fit.
It’s a Chorus of Cats disturbing your rest,
And four Slurpers of Soup for a dinner guest.
And so to cap it all off , after searching around,
No Washer of size could ever be found.

I've yet to work out just why my dripping tap is such an irritation, but it surely is.
Exactly as described - detailed documentation there; the relief in the realisation I'm not alone.....
