The Prayer Students Said Before Finals

Now I Lay Me
Down to Study,
I Pray the Lord I
Won’t Go Nutty.

If I Should Fail to
Learn this Junk,
I Pray the Lord
I Will Not Flunk.

But If I Do,
Don’t Pity Me at All,
Just Lay My Bones
In the Study 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’ll Pass
Tomorrow’s Test.

If I Should Die Before I Wake,
That’s One less Test I’ll Have to Take.
