Esmeralda Tinkerdoft

Gave a tremendous yawn.

She raised her eyes to the sky,

Surprised to see the dawn.



What a long night this had been!

Just where had the hours flown?

Now it was time to arise.

She stifled a loud groan.



Gingerly she raised her head,

So it wouldn't explode.

Her aching body followed

In semi-upright mode.



What a way to spend the night-

Curled up in an old chair,

Studying for that exam!

Sometimes life wasn't fair!



And all those pots of coffee,

And those notes in ink,

Wouldn't really help her now

For she was on the brink.



She should have studied sooner,

She should have had a plan.

She shouldn't have decided

To drop all for a man.



Time to go off to the hall,

To see if, despite fate,

She could pass, by osmosis

Or if it was too late.



Esmeralda Tinkerdoft

Gave a tremendous sigh.

She raised her eyes to Heaven,

And said a fond goodbye.
