Math test
October 23, 2014
Pencils tap
Children groan
Clocks tick
5 more minutes
Heads reel
4 more minutes
The head aches get stronger
3 more minutes
You say to turn it in
2 more minutes
We rush to jot down an answer
1 more minute
One question left
No more time
We turn it in all incomplete
Nobody knows that one idiotic problem
Solve for x^2+7x+10
