Counting For The Viva
One experienced candidate waiting to be done,
Two prepared examiners hoping this is fun.
Three years (or more) leading to this day,
Four key threads of prep can help along the way.
Five seconds pause can help get a thought together;
Six hours is unlikely (but never say never)!
Seven might be lucky, but you don’t need to be,
Eight lines is enough, now repeat: “It’s up to me.”
