Sitting in the students hall
Of the Union House
Simply for no other reason
That The Potter is closed on Mondays
And that the weather is freezing
The floating aroma of boiled cabbage
Pervades the hot house atmosphere
Not exactly tickling any appetite
So early in the day
On this first day of exams
The atmosphere is somewhat subdued
The normal din being absent
The students are ready for everything
Displaying their backpack
Complete with water bottle
And the ubiquitous umbrella
Due to the always wavering
Melbournian weather
The ambience is somewhat tense
Despite some trying to joke.
Good luck to you all,
Been there, done that.
