O finals, finals, wherefore art thou finals?
Deny professors and refuse thy grade
Or if thou wilt not be thus sworn, my foe
Then I'll no longer be here a student
'Tis but thy subject that is my enemy:
Thou art necessary, though not straightforward
What's final exams? It is nor heart nor soul,
Nor emotion, nor any other part
Belonging to humans. O be some other thing!
What's in a final? That which we call a class
By itself alone would suffice just as well;
So tests would, were they not finals call'd,
Retain that lack of terror that doth beset
At finals week. Exams, doff thy name
and thy being, for thy grade of me
Take classtime instead
