>>> 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 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 too cruel,

>>> 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 Year's 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."
