Twas the Night Before Finals
Twas the night before finals,
And all through the college
The students were praying
For last minute knowledge.
Most were quite tired
But none touched their beds
While visions of essays
danced in their heads.
Out in the taverns,
A few were still drinking,
And hoping that liquor
would loosen their thinking.
In my own apartment,
I had been pacing,
And dreading exams
I soon would be facing.
I drained all the coffee,
And brewed a new pot,
No longer caring
That my nerves were shot.
I stared at my notes,
But my thoughts were all muddy,
My eyes went ablur,
I just couldn't study.
"Some pizza might help,"
I said with a shiver,
But each place I called
Refused to deliver.
I'd nearly concluded
That life was too cruel,
With futures depending
On grades earned in school.
What kind of student
Would make such a fuss,
To toss back at teachers
What they tossed at us?
On Cliff Notes! On Crib Notes!
On Last Year's Exams!
On Wingit and Slingit,
And Last Minute Crams!
Your teachers have pegged you,
So just do your best.
Happy Finals to All,
And to All, a good test!
