"Midterms Galore"

The next few weeks are going to be a drag.
Listening to my mother and father nag.
About studying for midterms coming up soon.
They want me to pass, so I don't look like a buffoon.

Day and night they have me studying hard.
I can't fall asleep because they are always on guard.
They make sure I stare at the paper all day long.
They never leave so they're never gone.

It's been about a week so i picked up this book.
The only time i stop is when i help my mom cook.
Or when my dad goes to the bathroom.
I try to close my eyes but he comes back too soon.

Finally the last week before midterms is here.
I think about how many tests are so near.
That after i can finally shut my eyes and rest.
But only if i get grades among the best.
