Waiting to receive our 'O’levels results

Waiting to receive our 'O’levels results

By May Kwek 

Now the time has come

And we’re seated in the hall

Waiting for our results

Oh that dreadful call!

I am fidgeting, I am nervous

I know not what to think

All the blissful holidays

Have passed by in a wink

And now we shall see

If our two years of labour

Have in fact

Produced fruits with any flavour

I know what I want

But I know not what I’ll get

And I simply cannot stand

This agonising suspense!

I want to know what I got

But in my fear I also do not

I can’t control my feelings

And feel as though I’m shaking

It’s fine for me to know

And it’s also fine not to know

But it’s this wait before knowing

Which I find so frightening!

So if you’re in charge of this

Please have some pity

And put a swift end

To my fearful misery!
