A RIP'smas Carol

A RIP'smas Carol


T'was the night before Christmas

and all 'round the track,

the cars were flying

running lap after lap.

The trophies displayed

in Victory Lane with care,

my hopes were someday

MY name would be there.

The racers were strapped

all snug in their seats,

adreniline pumping

at such blistering speeds.

And I in my nomex,

and ma in hers too,

had just crossed the line

to start lap number two.

When out on the front stretch

there arose such a clatter,

crews strained their necks

to see what was the matter.

Out of the last turn,

the cars did dash.

Fans rose to their feet

while cameras did flash.

The roar of the crowd

let everyone know,

these lustures objects

were the main show.

When what in my rear view

mirror should appear,

but a tight racing pack

of eight flying RIPsters.

These incredable drivers,

so lively and quick,

that I knew in a moment

it must be 'ol RIP.

More rapid than eagles

down the course they came.

Fans whistled, and shouted,

and called them by name;

"Now Joker! Now BlackJack!

Now Clubbers and Spades!

On Welsh_Don! On Deadman!

On 3D and PokerFace!"

And then in a moment

I felt on my back,

The howling and growling

of this venomus RIP pack.

As I mashed on the gas,

my wheels spinning around,

right on by,

went RIP with a bound!

With a wink of their eye,

and a nod of their head,

soon gave me to know,

I had nothing to dread.

With only kind words

they laugh while they work,

nary a rough driver,

never a jerk.

Now holding his finger,

number one in the air,

in Victory Lane.

Only RIPster was there.

He sprang to his ride,

to his team gave a whistle,

and away they all flew

like the down of a thistle.

And I heard him exclaim,

as he drove off

with that cup...

"Keep your foot on the floor,

and the shiney side up!!!"


Merry RIP'smas to all, and to all a hard right!
