  1. Grading piles are
    self-inflicted injuries.
    Professor's karma.

  2. The nice thing about the posted haiku is that it works for both students and (as Jonathan's haiku points out) professors.

  3. Zero here zero
    There fills the grade book yonder
    Construct a TARDIS

  4. Exams coming up
    They can't be too difficult
    They don't write themselves.

  5. Your grade is too low?
    No, there is nothing that you
    Can do to raise it.

  6. It's Finals Bingo!
    Who won't follow directions?
    Yep; no surprise there.

    Sunny snowflake girl,
    Giggling as you write your name,
    Please don't boomerang.

    Next time you repeat,
    Try some fresh meat (I mean, prof);
    Twice was quite enough.

    1. You sit, all wide-eyed,
      Still surprised that you failed, your
      Fate already sealed.

      We should not have met
      Like this; it should have been when
      You first saw trouble.

      But there's the rub: you
      Didn't see it, for you just
      never looked till now.

    2. You are in stage three.
      Is there something I can do?
      But I have nothing.

  8. Where's my compassion?
    Same place your grade has run to
    Your tears mean nothing

    1. My heart is aching,
      But if I doled points unearnt,
      I'd just as well die.

  9. Oh, YEAH? Well, I have the ultimate haiku, then:

    Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
    Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
    Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

    But of course, it still isn't as good as Greta's.
