I just had to post this because it made me laugh.

O Lord, hear my anxious plea. Algerbra is killing me. I know not of 'x' or 'y', and probably won't until the day I die. Please,Lord, help me at this hour As I take my case to the highest power. I care not for fame nor loot, just help me find one square root.

Latin and grammer are also trouble. guide me through this daily double. And, Lord, please let me see One passing mark in Chemistry.

Lord, why am I such a dope in school? My teachers think I'm such a fool. One said, 'Son you're a horrid flop. You bent the saw and failed at shop.' My days in class are filled with remorse. I can't even pass the easiest course. I hunkered down and bowed my neck, But I burnt the cake and flagged Home Ec.

In English Lit, I studied hard,and read all the words of the Bard. But my mind is like a hateful Judas. It couldn't recall, 'et tu Brutus?'

Lord, will there ever be A toughter subject than History? Into the past I steadfastly delve, From Plymouth Rock to 1812. I learn of all those patriotic folk, From John Q. Adams to James K.Polk.
But test times come and I fall on my tail. Was it Patrick Henry or Nathan Hale?

Lord, must I offer an opology For three times failing Biology? Why is it I'm in such a fog concerning the innards of a frog? I push and strive and strain and grope To come to terms with the microscope. Lord, please forgive my derision, But who gives a hoot for cellular division?

Lord, I wish that I could vanish When the teacher calls on me in Spanish. And I promise, it's a cinch, I'll never learn a word of French.

Down in gym I take P.E Calisthenics will be the death of me. I have all the grace of a mop. I made an 'F' in side strattle hop.

Lord, is there anything I can’t flub? Will I ever be in Beta Club?

I have never found the key to knowledge, And my folks want me to go to college. Oh, such a thing I constanly dread. I’d as soon join the Marines instead. Lord, please give me a sign , that you’ve been listening all this time. If you will help, I’ll gice my all, And won’t even chew gum in study hall. Please lead me out of this constant coma, And give me a chance at my diploma. Let others fight about church and state. I pray only to graduate. Amen.
