Oh these tests,

Superfluous academic tests.

No time to prepare

For entrance tests.

Difficult to store

Vast concepts in mind,

Oh how to retain so much

Till marks given and paper signed.

Bewaring that,

The examiner is not blind,

And not our by dweller

That gives marks so kind.

All worried,

Smile crease no face.

Will we get through,

Or falter in this pace.

Parents worried about their career

They believe books are nifty,

Smartphones are carrier’s barrier

With no sympathy.

Parent’s and teacher’s

Support and hope is essential,

In order to raise their potential.
