The Forgotten Exam
A humorous poem inspired by a reoccurring dream
Running late
Can't find class
Unfamiliar halls
room numbers are out of order
and they don't make much sense
Everyone is laughing
My high school crush is laughing too
A joke I had somehow missed?
No, I think they're laughing at me
After many turns down
never ending, unfamiliar halls
I finally find my class
Math class
The moment I step into class
I already know I'm late
The second I sit down, the teacher hands me an exam
An exam I knew nothing about!
Formulas I don't recognize
Not knowing the slightest how to solve!
The timer starts, the exam begins!
Not knowing the answers in the slightest
I can only write what comes to mind
Pencil ready to write, freshly sharpened
But lead breaks off instead
I try again
Pencil lead breaks off yet again
The timer goes off
The exam is over
Didn't even make it past the first problem
Looks like I failed that exam!
This humorous poem was inspired by a reoccurring dream I have about finding myself in high school only to discover there's an exam I knew nothing about.
