My imagination can be my worst enemy, at least it is today

An exam sits in front of me, but my mind is far away.

Instead of finding x or using context clues,

I’m somewhere far away listening to the blues.

My pencil is tapping, keeping to the beat,

I’m a thousand miles away while sitting in my seat.

Suddenly, a dragon is breathing fire into the air,

I feel the heat surround me, and I don’t even care.

I slay the dragon swiftly, after all he isn’t real,

I dream of this - I dream of that - so much time to kill.

Just then, I hear a voice that wakes me from my dreams,

It’s not that I am sleeping, but I’ve drifted off it seems.

“You have ten minutes left,” says the booming voice,

I look down at my exam and realize I have one choice.

The odds are stacked against me, I’m just on number three,

So, for the twenty-seven left, I simply bubble “C.”
