Cancelled Today

I studied and swotted Til my eyes were on stalks Went to all the lectures Really listened when prof talked Was up at night, just one thing on my mind The end of term exam, good result required Ate very little, skin looked a mess Slept as I sat on a chair, oh dear I looked tired Morning of the exam, tried to get sleep Drank some strong coffee shaking with fear Staying awake and in focus to keep A notice on the door I saw as I got near In very bold letters for all to read Were the very words I didn't want to hear I turned around, away I tread with dread "Exam Cancelled Today" who fancies a beer.
