Twas the Night Before Finals...

Twas the night before finals
And all through the house
Not a student was stirring
Not even a mouse

The note cards were written
So neatly with care
In hopes that a 4.0
Would soon be there

Oh where were they?
Where could they be?
Only a crabby professor
Could solve this mystery

Were they snuggled and tucked
Tightly in their beds
Oh no....
They were at Hayden Library instead

Studying and racing
Only hours to go!
Would the curve be big enough?
No one would know.

Economics, Sustainability
Legal Issues, Art History
The classes were lined up
From A to Z

Don't forget a pencil
Don't forget your ID
Don't forget, no hats!
Don't forget to pee!

Rushing and rushing
Yet still sitting still
The clock kept ticking
Only 3 hours 'til

My professor hates me
That's what I'll say
When my parents ask
Why I didn't get an A

I sit down in my chair
Quiet in my seat
I swear the whole room
Can hear my heart beat

I bubble and I bubble
I bubble away
30, 40 50 questions
Too many today

I walk out of the room
Into the light of the sun
I cannot cannot believe
That I am finally done.
