A Prayer before Finals

A PRAYER BEFORE FINALS



Now I Lay Me

Down to Study,

I Pray the Lord I

Won't Go Nutty.



If I Should Fail to

Learn this Junk,

I Pray the Lord

I Will Not Flunk.



But If I Do,

Don't Pity Me at All,

Just Lay My Bones

In the Study Hall.



Tell My Prof

I Did My Best,

Then Pile My

Books upon My Chest.



Now I Lay Me

Down to Rest,

And Pray I'll Pass

Tomorrow's Test.



If I Should Die Before I Wake,

That's One less Test I'll Have to Take.
