Standardized Tests

Through all my youthful days of zest

There lurked the dreaded bubble test.

In math and reading, science too,

I wore out pencils, two by two.

Was the circle full enough?

When did they explain this stuff?

Erasing anything at all

Left a dismal, smudgy pall.

I was surely traumatized

By these tests so standardized.

Now I hear that students get

Tested on the internet.

Lucky brats, they'll never chew

On a Venus Number Two.
