THE BAGRUT EXAM

by Phyllis Oded


It was the night before the ENGLISH BAGRUT EXAM and all through the nation

not a 12th. grader was studying or waiting for a revelation.

Yet I lay awake, tossing and turning in my bed

with visions of ‘petrazillia’ running through my head.

Inversions, relative clauses and connectors were just a few

of these types of ‘structures’ I still wanted to review.

How to write a letter, with the date on the right;

how to do an unseen; how to spell ‘hieght’ [?] height.

First brainstorm in a composition and revise only when you’re through.

Will it all be remembered, or will a blackout ensue?


When I finally fell asleep, it was early morning at best.

Excited, but nervous, I arrived for the test.

“English is a piece of cake!” I overheard it said by one.

“Too many calories!” answered another, in fun.

The pupils greeted me with smiles and I relaxed too.

“Why are YOU so nervous, then?” you ask me.

I’m their TEACHER, that’s who!!
