It was the night before finals when all through the campus
Every student was cramming
Except for one student, who was making a fuss
“I hate the holidays,” said the student with malice.
The tests, and the papers and all this analysis
I’ve been writing so much my fingers are calloused.
Well no more, I’m feed up to here, he said with a frown
I’m done with this year and I won’t back down.
So he put down his pencils, his keyboard and laptop
And hung out and watched Netflix
Right there in the coffee shop
YouTube and Netflix and even Hulu
He watched that Grinch Movie with Cindy Lou Who
And it was during that movie that he had an idea
He would go to the library to share his new panacea
I’ll shout in the library and clear the place out
No one shall study, not while I’m about
As he marched to the library he got quite a fright,
An email arrived late in the night
“You’re failing a class” The email read
If you do not pass it you might end up dead.
I better not think of causing this ruckus
I should spend all night studying
I need to learn it. I’m done making a fuss
So he sat down at a table and opened a book
And he studied and studied in the quiet little library nook
He hoped if he passed Santa would bring him that fifth of Jaeger
Because after these finals he’s throwing a huge Christmas rager.
