Finals coming up....

This is for my younger kid (blatant homage to  plagiarism of an anonymous Irish author, and Robin Flower, via Helen Waddell) :

"I and Smokes, the neighbor's cat
'Tis a like task we are at,
Hunting 'x' is my delight,
Scratching fleas he sits all night.

'Gainst the flea he sets his eye

 Full and fierce and sharp and sly; '

Gainst the wall of pre-Calc I

 All my little wisdom try."
