We were panicked and scared, gathered, for a final group prayer
But then this kid from the back row said softly “oh contraire”
Now this is the moment That we Engineers evolved, she
Looked up from her
desk and then she said, Problem solved, please
With more time we can get it all done(Can it wait?) With more time we can get it all done
One more day, more time
Please just wait!
Reading Week
Finally, we’re out!
A break from lectures. No more labs to think about.
Time to get a life
To be more social and to party up all night!
We’ve studied hard before, And always find
There’s no reward.
But this week there’s no class.
We finally have a break, It’s running out,
We can’t delay.
So let’s all raise our glass.
Reading Week! Aha!
Tell your friends to come out
Let’s turn up the heat
We won’t leave this house all week.
Reading Week! Aha! Forget about tomorrow Dance the night away. There’s a party everyday. Reading week.
Let’s bitch about our profs, And all the times,
They pissed us off.
Some booze is what we need.
Let’s take it up a notch, Please pass the bong. And all the scotch.
Guys, I brought the weed!
Reading week! Aha! Puking in the washrooms. Parties down the street. No one reads in reading week.
Professor Grant sent out a study guide?
Oh true, the midterm is in 5 days.
I need to start studying soon.
Can I have an extension? There’s still some questions that I haven’t done.
An extension’s what we need (An extensions what we need)
We don’t agree with when you made this due (please change it or we’ll be screwed)
Don’t want the penalty of being late
Can you wait ? Can you wait?
Extend this we implore Our work ethic is very poor!
Oh, can we have another day (Please give us a bit more time)
The TA said you know
I can’t help you, you need to make a plan,
You will get through this thing
if you can, Stick it to the man,
We all whispered “Margaret, you gotta go ask the prof.”
She started thinking of what to do to pull this venture off
The year is 1892
Future students will surely need
More time in order to succeed
We forge this path, we beg and plead, oh
This was the first time we saw her work with this effort all year
This cause was a thing she did hold dear
Tension ran deep we all wondered
Was this plea too lavish Can you wait?
Prof’s ruled the school like kings
And this kid could be banished
She got creative with the task
When all other hope vanished
We copied it
I B.Sed it all
Me, I did the work. We failed the course And me?
Dear Margaret, Sure.
I asked for an extension!
This will ripple through the depths of time
From this day
We will all say
Can I have an extension?!
But still we knew that it was fearsome
Had to send, penned words that were highly persuasive
Otherwise the prof would think she was being invasive
Signing’ her name forgot her student number, oh well
Hopin that the prof wouldn’t fail her make her life hell
A letter sent and a quest newly begun
With more time we can get it all done
With more time we can get it all done (Can it wait?)
Can you wait?
