They are uninvited, they are unpleasant,
But unfortunately, they are here!
Forget ghosts, forget beasts,
Exams are my only fear.
Theorems make me break a sweat,
Periodic tables make me shiver.
I am afraid I am down with,
What they call ‘exam fever’.
But am I the only one,
Burning the midnight oil?
No, there’s someone else too,
Putting up with a turmoil.
Someone who can expertly ease,
The butterflies in my tummy.
No points for guessing,
My 3 a.m. buddy is my mummy.
