Our final test will be graded When our breath has dissipated Life itself is our final test Final grade when we’re laid to rest Taking the test may make you snore If you don’t care about the score For the next one you’ll study more Then it hits I’m dead on the floor There’re no more chances to improve That was the final my last move What can I say when at the gate Please let me have a later date Your name is not here take a look Only those saved are in the book

a flowing Sonnet, Bill. I enjoy how your tell a bit of a story then hit the reader with those powerful two lines, your poetic signature. Liked the ending (in case you can't tell) :-) du bist der Beste!
