Here's another spoof dedicated to the finals based on the "Twas the night before Christmas" story. Another tidbit I found interesting. If you weren't laughing yet, I hope you'll be laughing now. If not, then you probably studied too hard.

A Finals' Story

'Twas the night before finals, and all through the college...
all the students were praying for last minute knowledge.
Most were quite sleepy, yet none touched their beds;
while visions of essays danced in their heads.
Out in the taverns a few were still drinking
and hoping that liquor would free up their thinking.

In my own dorm room, I had been pacing
and dreading the exams I'd soon be facing.
My roommate was speechless; her nose in her books.
And my comments to her drew unfriendly looks.
I drained all the coffee and brewed a new pot
no longer caring that my nerves were shot.
I stared at my notes, but my thoughts were all muddy.
My eyes went ablur... I just couldn't study.
"Some pizza might help," I said with a shiver;
but each place I called was to busy to deliver.
I nearly concluded that life was too cruel
when futures depend on grades earned in school.

When all of a sudden, our door opened wide...
And Patron Saint Pull-It-Off ambled inside!
His spirit was careless, his mind was mellow;
he walked across the room and started to bellow:
"What kind of student would make a fuss,
to toss back at teachers what they tossed at us?!
"On Cliff Notes! On Crib Notes! On Last year's exams!
On Wing It and Sling It!! On Last minute crams!!"

His message delivered; he vanished from sight;
But we heard him laughing outside in the night...
"You're teachers have pegged you, 'Just do your best...'
But, by any means necessary, you must pass your test!"
