This morning is our history test.I've pinned my notes inside my vest.Inside my coat I wrote my notes,including dates and famous quotes.I've written more upon my handthat only I can understand,and in my socks and sleeves I stowedmy scribbled notes in secret code.I've written down so many namesof winners of Olympic games,of buildings, people, places too,from Tennessee to Timbuktu.I even copied down a pieceon ancient Rome and ancient Greece,plus everything from Shakespeare's playsto who invented mayonnaise.I came to school so well prepared.I wasn't nervous, wasn't scared.But here it is, the history test.I look inside my coat and vestto get the dates and famous quotesand find I cannot read my notes.So much for Shakespeare, Greece and Rome.I left my glasses back at home.
