Here we have Mario, out on a ledge
surrounded by deep blackness, losing
his footing and catching his breath
Here's Mario, trying to laugh with his eyebrows
all crinkled in concentrated fear for
the grey Castle he's just entered
Up ahead looms a monster with fire
for breath and wings on his ribcage
walls wreaking of death
the ceiling is falling so slowly
and coated in spikes, Mario
must waste no time! So he dives
over one wide hole with a leap
landing tough on the concrete and
grounding his feet again- DODGEing in
quickness an arrow of fire, but
not fast enough as a turtle shell
flails towards his legs, he jumps UP
but too late, and is shrunk to a pint-sized
half-hero....so sad so pathetic
but ready to fight Bowser nevertheless (i guess.)
Options looking slimmer
our little Mario follows the path
through the dark dungeon tunnel
avoiding the fireballs, dodging the
ball and chains spinning...above shines a question mark!
floating in awe! Our tiny hero he leaps
the block pings! what's he get?
just one penny, one coin for his pocket
nothing to suit him up stronger against
the monster of scales breathing fire
ahead behind the tunnels of black
Still little red Mario takes his approach
hardly prepared in his mustache and overalls
waves of hot flames licking up to his hat
Here our Mario scrunches his eyebrows in tune
with the chimes of a conquerable but impending doom...
