------
Today is the day when the raindrops patter;
When the wind blows and the leaves scatter.
Today my mind’s running hither and thither.
It’s a day when my nerves feel all in a dither.
Through the pattering rain and leaves that blow –
Nearer and nearer to the school I go –
Amidst forming chaos and the panic stations,
The churning stomach and the expectations -
To a desk in the corner with a paper and pen.
Then I’m on the starting line, flag waved and then –
It’s eyes to paper, the mind on the job –
Now, brain in gear – how my temples throb!
I must read the questions, have time to think –
Then it’s pen to paper and here comes the ink.
Read what you’ve written – did you comprehend?
“Time’s up, stop writing, your exams at an end.”
