I didn’t think the date was here
But deadline there it was
It left me panicked in a rush
My heartrate all abuzz
But though I had but scanty time
I knew I had the chops
‘Cause I could write a hundreds words
Without a one flipflop
My rec letters came easily
My bosses did reply
Their promptitude was very great
I’d have successful try
We’ll if things go anywhere
If friends can help me out
At least I got submissions in
‘Fore midnight gave a rout
