Studies Week

Wordle: studies week
Studies week
The ambiance of the district has changed
All the cafes are opened on Sunday
And up in the night  the crowd of students
Is thick on the pavement.
One can't find a seat in the library
It is packed solidly with bodies.
In the restaurants
The people in the queue are young
All students by the look of it
Just getting out for a break from their studies
As the first of examination weeks is starting tomorrow
Most of them have manuals, textbooks, notebooks
Laptops, tablets and  the inevitable Smartphones. 
All are involved in their own thoughts
With the music blaring killing
Any attempt to intelligent communication.
The desultory usual conversations are gone
The drinking crowds at the terraceof pubs
Has seriously trickled down
To a pair or two.
One sees the students moving from one library
To another as the first one closes for the night.
It's obviously head down time
So good luck to you all.
