h - ? ? 5 s 1 -'YN An Examination Soliloquy f'To pass or not to pass, that is the question. Whetlier 'tis better, in exams., to suffer A Questions from contumacious Profs, 01' to prepare notes containing useful data, And, by gouging, pass them? ,To fail, to flunk, No more, but by gouging, to more than end The heartaches, -and the many sleepless nights, That a failure brings-'tis the only method, And it will I pursue. To fail, to flunk, To Hunk! perhaps a zippg ay, there's the rub, For at that frigid point, what blood Won't freeze? I must shake off this dire calamity, So gouge I Will. There's the respect That surely follows a graduation, In which will be lost all those base ideas Of the gouger's wrong. The smart man's contumely, The pangs of stricken 'conscience-alike lost. So T'd rather bear those ills a short While Than to flunk an exam. T know not of. toz in l 7 Q 5' A i f e -T xx , 1 E 1 1 I Y ,, pi I 1 It . li if I .5 I ,. I, l srl
