About my taps.
Re Vanity and shower
Here is the wrap
If you're turning off either
take notice mayhap
The shower taps, turn off
As tight as you like
For the taps on the vanity
Gentle is right.
The vanity washers are special and soft
Only turn off the taps
Till water goes Off.
Don't over-twist
It'll as well save your wrist.

Author Notes
We get all sorts of people in our house. All kinds of taps or faucets in my bathroom as well. Due to my wife's need for carers to help get her in and out of bed we also have a cleaning service from the same source as the carers. I originally had just an ordinary note in my bathroom to advise, as the poem says, how the different taps should be treated. One of our carers liked my poetic bent, so here is an update for the sign. For many years I have had special washers in the vanity taps that need no effort to turn off. Fact is if you "strangle" the vanity (hand basin) taps you render the washers useless over time. My father in law is the worst offender for the strangling of same seeing he has a house full of dripping taps at his place.
Did you hear about the Irish Tap Dancer? He broke his leg when he fell into the sink! The "Tap" in Aussie land is known as the "faucet" in Uncle Sam land.Thanks to Photopeb for "Drip"
