On Failed Quizzes

To reap the merits of deviation

And fret on charts with empty cells

that call unknown some stat formation

Yet dwell upon a blinking spell.

I pull like scarves off weeping hats

a method proved by centuries teach

but ticking minutes pull the latch

of knowledge’s door to bear no reach

But try and must as students ought

And words in books, the like that meant

Instill trite lessons so careful taught

But none to learn and much to vent.

So thus there lies a failed attempt

To bear and show what rust has wrought

In minds that kept so long inept

solutions found yet none that caught.
