Rhyme TIME
Exam fever

When examination comes near,

My heart is full of fear.

Days and nights are full of tension,

And all our pleasure trips are cancelled.

Lessons are thoroughly learnt,

Throughout the night, the midnight oil is burnt.

Remaining awake till twelve with a thud

The heart beats

all the time praying to god,

There is no time to get bored.

And when the result comes

Good scores bring in lot of fun

As much we work hard,

Accordingly, we get marks in the report card.

I slept one night snoring aloud,

Deep in dreams with my eyes shut out.

I was wearing a beautiful dress,

This was really to impress.

Holding a stick in my hand,

I was with an Army band.

I was giving orders

To the soldiers to remain alert on the border

Suddenly a dangerous situation arose

Which took away my comfort and ease

I was standing in the battle field become my motherland’s shield,

Guns and tanks were all around,

Blood starting oozing from my wound.

Suddenly a bullet whizzed past me

And hit in my head

I woke up with a scream,

Thank God! It was a dream
