Before An Exam

oh dear! tis not a time to lark bout monsters
when you have been but right out of your bed
or haven't you slept all of the night
preparing for the one that beckons two days ahead

coz there is not one but two fifty of them
as far as the victims are concerned
so get back to your tomes as soon as you can
fun is all over, the crackers are all burnt

and if I may say so, O! seeker of depth and truth
your poetry will have Wordsworth stamping his feet (refer the last two lines)
so for that day of being permanently yourself
better practice in advance for being foot of fleet
