Love is a word that is constantly heard, -Hate is a word that is not. -Love, I am told, is more precious than gold. -Love, I have read, is hot. -But Hate is the verb that to me is superb, -And Love but a drug on the mart. -Any kiddie in school can Love like a fool, -But Hating, my boy, is an Art.<br /> Now I lay me down to study, -I pray the Lord I won&#039;t go nutty. -If I should fail to learn this junk, -I pray the Lord I will not flunk. -But if I do, don&#039;t pitty me at all, -Just lay my bones in the dorm hall. -Tell my prof I did my best, -Then pile my books upon my chest. -Now I lay me down to rest, -And pray I&#039;ll pass tomorrow&#039;s test. -If I should die before I wake, -That&#039;s one less test I&#039;ll have to take!
