Italian man, dressed in red and overalls,
armed a brick-smashing fist and legs of a rabbit.
He races worlds with a mighty speed.
Unclogging the pipes of his minions with orbs of cinder, blessed by an arcane rose.
Cleaning the clouds with the blessings of a tanuki.
A ripe fruit, stolen by a monster,
a tyrant who rules a legion with a maw of flames.
Koopas and goombas, and ghosts and more,
‘Save me Mario, from this horror!’
Shine like a star and go forth –
retrieve your peach.
Somewhere in my basement is a VHS of my second time beating SMB3. Wonderful game!
