Three

Here's a poem that is found behind the back of a University of the Philippines shirt that some of us were so gung ho to buy. The 'three' represents the minimal grade a student at a UP can get in his/ her academic year. Here's a similar cheer for the Monash Arts students who still have one - two sems more to go in the next year to come, all the best for whatever you achieve and may it never be lower than a 'three'.

I think that I shall never see

A grade as lovely as a three

A three that's earned with

Blood and sweat

When failing is a serious threat

A three I've asked from

God all day.

Knowing praying is the only way
Exams are taken by fools

Like me

But only God can give a three
