Math Test
Normally a wake up call will do
Chance favors the mind prepared
A math quiz waits for an idiot in class
The university is an hour away by helicopter
Einstein begins his calculations over time
Over a bottle of morning whiskey in a cup
An hour late is an hour lost as he wakes up
Why not steal a car, a Plymouth with some gas
The student hits a guard rail at 90 mph going fast
Mountain cliffs are high. Canyon roads are hard
The brakes work fine but acceleration is more fun
How fast was he traveling to class when he went over
No longer will he have to answer stupid questions
Whatever was left inside that head fried to a crisp
A bolt of lightning strikes him dead before he lands
Or did he die while suspended in mid air
In suspended animation for that split second
Was it an act of God and nature or an accident
The one of being born an idiot
We must do the math before we go to class
