If

As I studied long for my last exam,
I kept drifting off to happy land.
So I had to think of a fool proof plan,
to keep me studying for my last exam.
So I wrote a note for anyone’s hand,
it reads like this, my devious plan.

If I fall asleep,
 before I finish this.

Will you wake me up,
  with a baseball bat?

 If, I fall asleep,
     If . . I, fall asleep,
        If . . .  I . . fall, asleep
            before I . . . finish, this.
