Tik, tok, tik, tok. Testing. Testing!

The pressure is on!

By Jordan ZunigaPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

A tik, a tok, the hands began to sway,

Considering, factoring, of what could and could not stay,

Going under pressure, his time was all but spent,

Thinking of how, a way to circumvent,

Who and where, when and why,

All of what and how,

A desire for improvement,

For right here and now.

A quick and precise decision,

Erase and rewrite to surely pass,

Made with such precision,

All before the mass.

A tik a tok, the time for discipline,

All before the breakthrough,

Right before the win,

A tik, a tok, he would try his best

All among his classmates, hoping to pass his test.
