Twas the Night Before Finals

T'was 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 get their brains thinking.

In my own apartment, I had been pacing, Dreading all those
exams I soon would be facing. My roommate was
speechless, His nose in his books, And my comments to him
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 all muddy, My
eyes went a'blur, I just couldn't study. "Some pizza
might help," I said with a shiver, But each place I called
Refused to deliver. I'd pretty much concluded Life is
unfair and cruel, Since our futures all depend On grades made
in school. When all of a sudden, Our door opened wide,
And Patron Saint Put-It-Off Ambled inside. Her spirit
was careless, Her manner was mellow, She looked at the mess
And started to bellow: "Why should us students Make such
a fuss, About what those teachers Toss out to us?" "On
Cliff Notes! On Crib Notes! On Last Year's Exams! On Wingit
and Slingit, And Last Minute Crams!" Her message
delivered, She vanished from sight, But we heard her laughing
Outside in the night. "Your teachers won't flunk you, So
just do your best. Happy Finals to All, And to All, a good
test."
