Exams
I walked into the hall, and sat down in my seat,
As I flicked through the paper, I could feel the heat,
This exam was quite hard; I didn’t know the stuff,
I just wanted to get a ‘C’ – that would be enough,
I tired to do a few, but the answers were unsure,
I wished this would be over; I couldn’t take much more,
I wish I had revised, so I could get one right,
Or got a bit more sleep; I was up all night!
Soon the time was running low, and I hadn’t filled in one!
I had to get my head down, before my time was gone,
I was starting to sweat, as the minutes ran low,
I filled in a few more, answers I don’t know,
Maybe I’d get lucky, and get a few just right,
I could fool the exam board, and make them think I’m bright,
Soon it was all over; I waited for my score,
I hadn’t got a ‘C’, and definitely not more,
Three weeks later, we were told what we got,
I thought that I failed, and not scored a lot,
My mark was read out last, which put me to shame,
I had scored the lowest, only me to blame!
I only got an “F”, which was just plain bad,
It was the worst score that I had ever had!
