Exam Talk

As the time ticks away,
Following my pen sway,
Papers filled with ink,
Some, highlighted pink.

Crosses and hatches,
Blanks and cranks,
Trying to make sense,
When everything's tensed.

Look Right, Look Left,
Up on the ceiling, Down on the ground,
Trying to find,
An answer around...

What happened yesterday
When every answer was found
Didn't I read it?
Or took a sleeping treat.

A pat on my back tells me,
"Time's up baby,"
As I look down,
And made a deep frown.

Examinations, tests and
"Oh what a mess."
