I realized it was half past four when i, quite late, ran out the door.

my history class i so abhor,

but i missed two sessions the week before.

i failed a test on ancient lore

and forgot the date of the second world war.

Man, my brain was really sore.

up the marbel stairs i tore,

And slid across a just mopped floor,

To wake again at half past four!

these nightmares i can stand no more.
