Rhyme time

Horror, terror, worry, fear

Examinations are coming near

All are busy, no time to cheer

It’s such a gloomy atmosphere

Some have already started to revise

While others have quite a different exercise

For hours, some discuss their dreams

And some have a few notorious schemes

For some exams pose no horror

They simply copy their neighbours’ error

Some invigilators are quite blind

And this, of course, the children don’t mind

Guides and question papers one does not need

Hard work, work is all one requires to succeed

I have a mother so sweet

And a brother so cute

My father is tall

He likes to play baseball

My sister is so nice

But she is afraid of mice

Mother cooks delicious food

She always is in a great mood

What about father

He is a genius rather

They are all good

And always in the best of mood

I love them all
