FOR JASON AND ANDY!!!


Finals Eve
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 tavern,
A few were still dirnking,
And hoping that liquor,
Would loosin their thinking.
In my own room,
I had been pacing,
And dreading exams,
I soon would be facing.
My roomate was speechless,
His nose in his books,
And my coments to him,
Drew unfriendly looks.
I drained all the coffee,
I brewed a new pot,
No longer caring,
That my nerves were shot.
I stared at my notes,
My thoughts were all muddy,
My eyes went a blur,
I just could not 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 to cruel,
With futures depending,
On grades had in school.
When all of the sudden,
Our door opened wide,
And Patron Saint Put-It-Off,
Ambled inside.
His spirt was careless,
His manner as mellow,
And all of the sudden,
He started to bellow.
"On Cliff Notes, on Crip Notes,
On Last-Year-Exams,
On Wingits, and Slingits,
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!
This is a little late - you already took your finals. I'm sure you both aced them!
