Before Finals

  Good day to all.  Not much going on here.  My last final is tomorrow, then I’m done for the semester.  And not a moment too soon.  And in spirit of the end of finals, I’m re-posting this song that I got from SmallvilleForever.  Good day to all.

-Damien

‘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 bed,
While visions of essays
Danced in their heads.

I drained all the coffee,
And brewed a new pot,
No longer caring
That my nerves were all 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 nearly concluded
That life was to cruel
With futures depending
On grades had in school

When all of sudden,
Our door opened wide
And Patron Saint, "Put-it-Off"
Ambled inside

His spirit was careless,
His manner was mellow
When he saw me
He started to bellow:

What kind of student
Would make such fuss,
To toss back at teacers
What they tossed at us?

On cliff notes! On Crib notes!
On last years exams,
On wing-it, on Sling-it
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!!
