An energetic poem about being on the wrong end of a blue shell in Mario Kart.

Mario Kart, Last Lap

for Cam

Blue Shell over head!

Blue Shell over head!

Only one lap left

and there’s a blue shell

over my head!

I was in first

but got blasted

back to last,

and all my friends

had a real good laugh!

Blue Shell over head!

Blue Shell over head!

Only one lap left

and there’s a blue shell

over my head!

Even Rainbow Road

won’t make it any better,

my kart’s up in the air

and you just stole

my new track record!

Blue Shell over head!

Blue Shell over head!

Only one lap left

and there’s a blue shell

over my head!

I’m going bananas!

Getting nothin’

in all MY boxes

If it weren’t for blue shells

I know I’d have no loses

Blue Shell over head!

Blue Shell over head!

Only one lap left

and there’s a blue shell

over my head!
