Or just pairs,
Whatever you do,
Studying may be better,
If you do it in “twos”.

But a weary mind it can make!
When energy falls,
Take a break right away,
Just get up and go!
Go out and play.

and “success” you will shout,
Now, on to success!
You know the way,
You know how to do it,
Go ahead, seize that A!
