A Break in Tempo ( run your tap a little for  the Drip sound)

Drip, Drip, Drip
What is that I hear, that rhythm sound
Drip, Drip, Drip
Do you hear it, that pitter, patter sound
Drip, Drip, Drip
It’s like a beacon from a Lighthouse.
Drip, Drip, Drip
Flashing a warning of danger of some kind
Drip, Drip, Drip
Its getting louder, can you hear it?
Drip, Drip, Drip
Wonder what that is?
Drip, Drip, Drip
Can you make it stop?
Drip, Drip, Drip
It’s frightening me
Drip, Drip, Drip
 I’m closing my eyes
Drip, Drip, Drip
I can’t stand that sound
Drip, Drip, Drip
 I’m covering my ears
Drip, Drip, Drip
Someone make it stop!
Drip, Drip, Drip
Please!
Drip, Drip, Drip
Why are you just looking at me?
Drip, Drip, Drip
 Can’t you hear it?
Drip, Drip, Drip
Can you stop it?
Drip, Drip, Drip
Don’t you care?
Drip, Drip, Drip
Doesn’t it hurt your ears?
Drip, Drip, Drip
How can you stand it, it’s so loud?
Drip, Drip, Drip
Don’t look at me like that
Drip, Drip, Drip
I know what I hear
Drip, Drip, Drip
Please stop it!
Drip, Drip, Drip
Please someone make it stop!
Drip, Drip, Drip
It’s driving me crazy that sound!
Drip, Drip, Drip
Stop it!  Stop it!  Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
Shush now it’s alright.
Silence
The big orderly wheeled the gurney down the hall to room 409.
