The cars are racing down the dusty trail
apporaching Peach's place, on slippery roads,
grey blocks of stone, a train that might derail, 
and a rainbow bridge supporting heavy loads.
I am a green dinosaur with breath
that stinks like cheese.  A toadstool passes to 
my right; the left is lava (steamy death).
I have been passed by everyone; oh, poo!
Yet up ahead, colors I do see,
a special block containing treasures great
reveals a star:  invincibility!
I grit my teeth (deep breath), accelerate. 
While knocking racers off in painful bursts,
I make my way from dead-last place to first.
