A Test Prayer


Now I lay me down to study,
I pray the Lord I won't go nutty,
If I should fail to learn this junk,
I pray the Lord I will not flunk.
But if I do, don't pity me at all,
Just lay my bones down in the study hall.
Tell my teacher I did my best,
Then pile my books upon my chest.
Now I lay me down to rest
And I pray I'll pass tomorrow's test.
If I should die before I wake,
That's one less test I'll have to take.
