Test day stress

Forty minutes on the clock,

Not much time until you stop.

Uncover the meaning behind the words,

Even if it feels absurd.

For paragraphs, there must be two,

Though sometimes three is okay too.

Mix the evidence and commentary

Even if it might feel rather scary.

Make sure it all ties together,

You can do it, I know you're clever.

Hurry now, times almost up,

Keep on thinking, don't get stuck.

There you go, you’ve finished now,

All I have to say is, wow.

Feel the stress melt off your bones,

Finally we can go back home.
