| T'was the night before exams and all through my home. Not a creature was stirring not even a gnome. The lights were out and the fire burned low as outside, the wind began to blow. My parents were nestled all snug in their beds, totally blind to what every teen dreads. Upstairs in my room, I sat at my desk studying a book that was so grotesque. It was geometry! The dreaded cur- full of angle bisectors and other stuff. By ten, I knew I had enough! I grabbed yet another book to read to study Texas and the Gulf Bay. Luckily geography's my life and forte. When all of a sudden I heard such a clatter that I sprang from my desk to see what was the matter. I ran downstairs as quick as can be. At the bottom you'll never guess what I could see. Santa Claus stood at the bottom with books in his hand- he came to help me study. Oh, this was grand! Now math and science answers came with ease. By the end of our session the coming exams caused no unease. He then hopped in his sleigh to head home. But I heard him exclaim as he flew out of sight- "Good luck on the exams, you'll do all right!" |
