Leakage

Many things could shock me
one of them is roof leaking
 
I mistook it had been over
until the night I opened the door
found a water puddle on the floor
 
“The ceiling is dripping,” I screamed    
Watching the little stream  
coming down the beam
apparently not at all a dream
 
It’s one of the life disasters  
just can’t expect any better
It should be gone in a second
can’t wait over this weekend
 
The nightmare wends its way
through nights and days  
and seems no way to delay
 
Nonstop drip-drops going down
ignoring my belated frown
with wars of the Three Kingdoms
I should have learned Kong Ming’s wisdom
