I wait in silence in a crowded room
My mind filled with the sense of doom
“Your next” she says with a patient smile
“Thank God” I think, it’s been awhile
I’m taken down the hall with wonder
Why on earth can I hear thunder ?
“Don’t worry” he say’s “That’s just the builder”
And slowly opens up my folder
“Ok” he smiles “That’s why your here”
And merrily laughs “Take your seat at the rear”
The clock is started, the exam begun
Tick, tock, tick, tock, my strength undone
Its over now, no time for fear
The scores are out, we passed ! we cheer !
