'Twas the night before finals, when all through the college
The students were praying for last minute knowledge;
The textbooks and backpacks were set by the door with care,
In hopes that Christmas soon would be there;
The students were anywhere but snug in their beds,
While visions of scantrons danced in their heads;
Christmas break was getting close their grades were soon to be decided,
Some were wishing this dread feeling soon would be subsided.
When the sun rose over Y mountain there arose such a shudder,
The students jumped from their beds and started to mutter.
Away to the testing center and JSB in a jiffy,
as the students are thinking, "Heaven help me".
They started their tests and their confidence rose,
Until they got to question 149 and their hand in midair froze,
When, what to their wondering eyes should appear,
But vision of celebration, parties and ice cold root beer,
So happy and cheerful, so lively and quick,
Was crushed by the sound of the clock going tick.
More rapid than cougars they tried to finish,
As that so happy dream started to diminish;
The last bubbled was filled and a sigh of relief was heard
As the students handed their tests in and their minds were a blur.
The tests were graded by the professors and TAs with care
and the students sat their worried, biting their nails and unaware,
As the clock went buzzing, the students sat straight up in bed
and realized that it was all a dream and finals were still ahead!
Their roommates start laughing and encouraged each other to do their best
Happy Finals, to all and to all a good test!
