Exam hall

Talking of exams, every one of us has a different story to tell...We have had some hilarious moments in exam halls, some may even be painful. However, I hope this poem of mine will help you refresh some of those memories.....


                  Withered and panting when he reached his goal,
                      it felt like the hall was land of troll.
                  The boy looked around and found few others,
                      for whom getting good grades is all that bothers.
                  Aping their deeds the boy took his book,
                      to give crucial points a mere look.
                  The clock struck nine and they were called inside,
                      an order they had to unwillingly abide.
                  Inside the hall he quickly grabbed a seat,
                      from where, if needed, he could cheat.
                  A seat near the wisest guy was a good take,
                      and a friend sitting nearby was icing on the cake.
                  Booklets in hand and questions in sight,
                      he asked himself “what should I write?”
                  He checked if his friend was feeling alright,
                      luckily for him friend too was in plight.
                  Although this sight put him at ease,
                     still the fear of failure gave him no peace.
                  He thought of how he was nailed,
                     by his teacher when he had failed.
                  In order to escape all those scenes,
         he decided to pass by all means.
                  Signaling the wise guy was of no use to him,
                     but it got teacher’s eye fixed on him.
                  At last the fate did give him a smile,
                     examiner was called out just for a while.
                  As the teacher stepped behind the wall,
                     answers and papers flew around the hall.
                  This time the wise guy did finally pay heed,
                     but he had no time for the boy’s need.
                  Desperate he gave his friend a call,
                     to ask if he knew, anything at all.
                 The friend woke up from a deep sleep,
                     and barked at the boy,”let me sleep, you creep!!”
                 Within no time the teacher was back in the room,
                     much like a sorcerer, riding on a broom.
                 He thought of the fun and joy he tasted,
                     and of the time that he had wasted.
                 He decided to leave his laziness behind,
                     to study well he made up his mind.
                 The clock struck twelve and they had to leave,
                     many in the room found it hard to believe.
                 Towards his home the boy started to walk,
                      but stopped once he heard, his friend talk.
                 They talked about playing soccer that day,
                      the boy changed his mind on thought of play.
                Once again he took the bait,
                      for a day he thought studies could wait…………
