Exams

I sit at my chair
At my desk, in the hall
A teacher walks past
I stare at the wall

People all in rows
There are few stranger sights
I stare at the ceiling
There are 40 fluorescent lights

I haven't revised much
I feel like a fool
If only I could remember
The triangle number rule

I stare at the clock
An hour to go
I've written all I can
Why does time go so slow?

I am stuck on question 5
I know the answer, at last!
I check time remaining
Why does time go so fast?

A minute to go now
59, 58
I've answered it all
now I have to wait

The exam is over
I think I wrote enough
It's all about calmness
And knowing the right stuff

The holiday is over
I have my final score
I could have done better
If I'd revised some more
