The ‘A’ levels and after

The ‘A’ levels and after

By May Kwek

It’s over at last!

Pure relief

Ok I am two months late

But the last year you won’t believe

Studying everyday

Morning noon and night

Taking breaks only

To eat and sleep at night

And yet during those breaks

There was a dog barking in my ear

‘A’ levels! ‘A’ levels!

Like a shadow ever near

I couldn’t feel happy

When the last exam ended

Just relief that it was all over

Exactly as intended

Yet I still dream at night

That the ordeal isn’t over

That I missed an exam

But it ended in November!

Or that worse

I got my results back

And instead of As like I hoped

Are Cs edged in black!

Or even better

They start out as As

Then change to Bs and Cs before my eyes

That would be an awful day

So yes the ‘A’ levels are over

But I guess they haven’t completely left my mind

Fingers crossed I would dream no more

Till I know my results are fine!
