The Desperado

I found a gum stuck under my desk,
together with the chemistry answer key,
Trembling, I quickly placed it in my hanky,
Felt like I won a raffle shopping spree,
Finally, I've got another shot at redemption,
I can overturn my D to a C or even a B,
My Dad will hand me back my car privileges,
My Mom might consider getting me the latest Gucci!

I wanna kiss the ass of my unidentified savior,
Thanks to him/her I have college to hope for,
Xie Xie, Domo Arigato, Merci, Mochos Gracias,
I won't waste this blessing, so I'm moving fast,
In the speed of light, my answer sheet's filled up,
But just when I thought its over,
my dancing eyes screeched to a stop,
At the bottom right, something's scrawled- SET A,
and my questionnaire... unmistakably says- SET B,
Stupid minuscule handwriting!
I shrieked in mortified exasperation,
Curses to the idiots living in this nation!
how could I have possibly missed that out?
Now I've only got 10 minutes left,
and I...
I freaking don't have an escape route!
