The dates arrive with a surprise
As time goes creeping on
And I realize that March is here
It is the creeping dawn

Unfortunate for me it seems
I also just can’t read
And now I have a test so soon
To prep is a great need

But I will simply see what comes
And do what I can do
So long as I have things to write
I think I’ll make it through

And should I fail in all my work
There is another test
So I can stake my hopes on that
And put my fears to rest?
