Eli's Creation

Once, I met a mushroom guy,

He was bright and yellow.

"Eli made me super fly,"

Said the cheerful fellow.

*

Then, he introduced his friend,

Izzy's wide-eyed cat.

She could disappear and blend,

But then, she fell down, flat.

Toad, what's up?

Toad, get up!

Toad, build up!

Time to 1up!

*

Then, we met a nighttime bird,

Whose hooting was her thing,

But Lily's owl had lost her voice.

She couldn't even sing.

Lily's Creation

*

Toad, what's up?

Toad, get up!

Toad, build up!

Time to 1up!

*

And so, Toad's 1ups saved the day,

And everyone danced and cheered,

For mushroom guy, turns out, was way

More handy than he appeared.

*

Toad, what's up?

Toad, get up!

Toad, build up!

Time to 1up!
