Default Ricer Christmas

> A Ricer Christmas
> "Twas the night before Christmas and caught at the light,
was a C-3 Corvette with no cops in sight.

I will try, I will try, with my 2 liter motor,
to beat this old Vette, even with it's big blower.

> As light goes to green and I pull like no joke,
The Corvette erupts in clouds of tire smoke.

> On Smasher, on Rev-ver, on Stroker, and Blitzin,
these are the names of my four VTEC pistons.

> Racing ahead I'm the star of the action,
but I know I'm in trouble when that Corvette gets traction.


> Shifting to second, my RPM's sing,
but my rearview mirror is blocked by my Shopping Kart Wing.
>
> I now hear the roar, of that big monster gaining,
but all I can do is keep that four-banger straining.

> In a second the shockwave hits with a blast,
as my stickers go flying, now a thing of the past.
>
> Don't bother with third, 'cause now it's too late,
just try to act cool, like you can relate.
>
> Looking up at his taillights as they get smaller,
the Corvette backs off just to give me a holler,
"You can't win them all," he says in a fling,
> "and you may not win any in that silly thing,"
>
> I scowled and I revved and let out a sigh,
as I did the classic ricer high speed fly-by.

Then I smiled and revved as I pulled out of sight,
> with new stickers tomorrow, it will be a better night."
