too good not to share...good luck everyone!
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 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 had in school
when all of a sudden
our door opened wide
and Patron Saint Put-It-Off
ambled inside
his spirit was careless
his manner was mellow
all of a sudden
he started to bellow
'on Cliff notes, on Crib Notes
on last year Exams
on Wingit and Slingit
and Last Minute Crams'
his message delivered
he vanished from sight
but we heard him laughing
outside in the night
'your teachers have pegged you
so just do your best
Happy Finals to All
and to all a Good Test
