A College Christmas

A College Christmas

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 apartment,



I had been pacing,



And dreading 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 muddy,



My eyes went ablur,



I just couldnt study.



Some pizza might help,



I said with a shiver,



But each place I called



Refused to deliver.



Id 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.



Her spirit was careless,



Her manner was mellow,



She started to bellow:



What kind of student



Would make such a fuss,



To toss back at teachers



What they tossed at us?



On Cliff Notes! On Crib Notes!



On Last Years 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 have pegged you,



So just do your best.



Happy Finals to All,



And to All, a good test.
