In
front of my eyes,
The
numbers prance and dance,
With
integral and differential calculus.
Oh so
many formulae to be derived,
Too
much resistance for the current in the circuit,
Paras get substituted,
A gene jumps and mutates,
The heart goes ‘bub’-‘dub’,
Benzene is converted to paranitraniline
And Mohr’s salt crystallizes leaving the
mother liquor.
But oh!
What is gammaxene chemically called?
What’s the indefinite integral of log (Sec x)
dx?
How is a gene pool useful?
And how is aspirin formed?
The bell peals out,
Its
time for us
To
keep our pens down,
To
stop pouring out what we’d swallowed,
No
matter, we had digested it or not.
Gathered in groups are student folk
“How
was the examination, ya?”
“Horrible, difficult, tough.”
“Hope
I don’t fail!”
“Hope
I beat her and top the class!”
“Ah!
Forget it, ya!”
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Goes
the knocking on my door.
It’s
a monster on all fours
Oh
no! It’s examinations again!!
