Prepping For the Test

Prepping For The Test The standardized tests in my country come from me The questions are designed, refined, and masterminded in secret When they are perfected we feed them to the masses In truth there are no answers only questions This season the children will love my staff and I We will dare them to get one question right With the tests that we have drafted Their minds will close just like a book Minus the writing, no pages, missing a cover and a look First we’ll start with easy ones; 1.) How many fingers are in French fries? 2.) Where do computers go to die? 3.) Did the devil always have teeth and did he ever use them on dentists? 4.) How old is the number five? The next round of questions will set the children’s spirits free To be good citizens in society We’re so kind, we’ll give them copies of the tests in advance You know, to give them a better chance Examples such as this; 1.) How many sub-atomic non quarks does it take to fill in the color green? 2.) If all mountains went out of existence what would people climb? 3.) Will zero propose to the number 8 or 17 next year and what would their children look like in the year 4299? 4.) If you push the elevator button several times or harder will it go any faster? The last question is not really a part of the equation Or standardized test on this occasion I’m trapped in an elevator pushing this same button for hours and hours There goes my power
