A Moment's paradise

Study I must,

For a Quiz approaches,

Baring its fangs,

Oh! The molasses!

Impromptu answers,

And arbit guesswork,

Saved me last time. Now,

I fear, twice it will not work.

Aiming in the dark

And taking blind shots.

Oh Joy! I've found,

A book of reference of sorts!

Now I can pass!

If only I had,

The determination to read,

More than one page, so sad.

The sandman draws near,

My head feels like lead,

I now see the light,

Paradise ahead!

Awake, and I find,

Verses of wit beyond compare,

So now I write this ode,

To waste more time. So there!
