Finger, Moon

Once upon a time
The exam finger
Used to point at
The learning moon:
You were examined
So that you learnt
What you had learnt
And what you hadn’t

The coaching classes started 
The great decline
Brilliance Tutorials: Outshine everyone
Kota’s Klever Klasses: We’ll get you in, anyhow
Pandharpur’s Precise Predictions: Even Vithoba doesn’t come close

Now the exam process dictates the learning
This cannot be formulated as an MCQ:
No point studying it
The XYZ exam platform doesn’t have a good Java compiler:
No need to learn programming in Java

The exam finger has
Totally eclipsed
The pale learning moon
