Route To WASSCE

 ROUTE TO WASSCE

As I step my first leg in Grade 12 race,

My thoughts begin to focus more on WASSCE

As it get closer and closer each day

Confused I become on the way

I’m I well prepared to avoid dismay?

Would exams be in May?

Or would it will be as early as April?

Cuz I spent my Grade 10 trying to settle down

For some of my subjects are new in town

In Grade 11, the syllabus goes on to frown

I’m constrained with time and need this crown

I’ve missed my contact hours due to countless breaks

I need to burn the midnight candle to catch up with time

I can’t attend the extra classes cuz can’t afford the dime

But I believe with determination, 

I can reach my destination

I must tie my belt and desist procrastination

Until then, I must study harder to be part of the celebration 

With distinctions to raise the flag of my nation

And this I must do to pass my WASSCE examination
