It’s thought is worrisome,
and deprives us of our freedom.
A source of surmounting stress
...on tender hearts ...we must confess!

Children are genuinely afraid.
They’ll do anything to evade
Even the thought of it being delayed
is good for them as a trade!

But, don’t we all know
the benefits of exams?
They build our confidence
and increase our competence.
They sharpen our skills,
which itself is a thrill.

They’re the reason why we all cram
...without which we wouldn’t be worth
a tinker’s ****!
