'Twas the night before finals,
And all through the college,
The students were praying
For last minute knowledge.
Most were quite sleepy,
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 up their thinking.
In my own room,
I had been pacing,
And dreading exams
I soon would be facing.
My roommate was speechless,
Her nose in her books,
And my comments to her
drew unfriendly looks.
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 muddy,
My eyes went a blur,
I just couldn’t study.
When all of a sudden,
our door opened wide,
And Patron Saint Put It Off
Ambled inside.
His spirit was careless,
my manner was mellow,
All of a sudden,
I started to bellow.
"On Cliff notes, on Crib Notes
On last year 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.
