Tails

Tails
By D

Where ever I go, Tails is there,

From the Emerald Hill Zone to the pits of despair.

Despite all the dangers, and my super-speed

That fox will appear whenever I need.

As he hovers behind with a grin on his face,

We’ve fought evil robots and been into space,

Even beaten Robotnik in Casino Night Zone,

Where we battled his flying mechanical throne.

 With his multiple tails, he flies through the air

Collecting MY coins without even a care.

But though he appears at my own beck and call

It’s not like he helps me, even at all!

In truth, he’s quite useless, doesn’t pick up much slack,

And yet when he dies, he just comes right back!

Mario 3-2

Mario 3-2
By D

I sit alone, quite late at night,

Before my TV, warm and bright,

Beside me, cans of mountain dew

As I play through Mario world three dash two.

I made it this far by the seat of my pants

And now I have but a single chance.

I knock a koopa, push his shell,

And send three goombas into hell

Leaping high, I reach a block

And with my head, give it a knock.

Out comes a mushroom from the top;

My size increases with a pop.

Running now, I find a star:

Oh what luck I’ve had so far!

At frantic pace, I speed around

And barely even touch the ground,

But even as I gaily run,

Alas the music’s quickly done.

I hit a koopa, one that flies,

And straight away I lose my size.

But wait! The end is really near,

It doesn’t seem there’s much to fear.

I hop, and skip, and squash and fly,

But as I come down from the sky

I see a pipe within my stride,

And a piranha plant, its mouth so wide.

 I cannot stop, I quickly fall,

And let the creature end it all.

The screen turns black, sad music plays,

“Game Over” the only thing it says.

I shake my head and view my score,

But before I start to play some more,

I get up briefly, to take a pee,

And regret I didn’t reach three dash three.
