Battle Hymns

I was reading about The Grapes of Wrath on Wikipedia today. It's one of my favorite novels and I'm using it as a source in my paper (which I really should be spending every minute on, as it's due on Wednesday) so I was doing a little research. I came across an explanation of the name, it's from this song, the Battle Hymn of the Republic, which was made famous in the Civil War. Anyway, it's very easy to get this song stuck in your head if you've heard it once, and I was wandering around my office trying to find the motivation to slog on with my paper, when this version popped in. So, taking advantage of creativity where and when it pops up, I made my own version instead of continuing on with the paper, even though I'm so close to being finished and then I will be done with this class forever. But, in memory of the years spent finishing up papers and studying for tests while anticipating the holidays to come, here it is:

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the freedom of my days:
I am churning out the papers where those grades of mine are stored;
I have loosed the fateful lightning of my "powerful" lit. brain:
My paper’s marching on.

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
My paper’s marching on.

I have seen my freedom in the coming of the holidays,
We will celebrate mightly the end of tests and essays;
I can read whatever I want and watch mindless movies:
The day is marching on.

Glory, glory, hallelujah !
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
My day is marching on.
