Let's write some poetry about NASCAR

Losers die alone (Michael Schumacher)

Silence hangs heavy—darkness pulling tight
Deep inside, fear begins its slow climb
That car... it was nothing but a ghost
This isn't my time anymore

Only a few hours left until the green flag drops
Outside, the chaos feels like a war zone
I'll pull on my gear and head out
To see this race through to the end

And here we go again
The NASCAR stock cars tear down the track
Everyone blurs past my side
Like a leaf caught in a gale, I'm scattered
Losers die alone

And once more
The NASCAR machines thunder by
Everything streaks past me
Just a leaf in the wind, drifting away
losers die alone

now victory

Foot against foot—quietly!
I walk through the fields
bent along my own path
Plow after plow
one upon the other
I agree—hours, days, years

Then the races begin
then come the defeats
it’s not a movie
where Ferrari wins
just remember

How we used to dream
stealing days from Max Verstappen
for hours out in front of the field
Smithing our plans
stealing points
only for me, just for me

Then the races begin
then come the defeats
you know it isn't easy
to become a loser

now victory—they are always the same color
over them, Kimi reigns supreme
now victory—never red
Ferrari never surrenders

White smoke after white smoke—quietly!
I push the car down the track
with eyes closed

Plow after plow
one upon the other
I agree—hours, days, years
Now some new kids arrive
and the races are getting harder to win

now victory—they are always the same color
over them, Kimi reigns supreme
now victory—never red
Ferrari never surrenders

Kimi Räikkönen

They say he’ll do it—those watching
Chasing another glorious victory once more
Kimi is ready; McLaren is stepping up
But nothing's moving but white smoke from the pot

Far now, racing down the track
Leaving the storms behind him
All that remains is the champagne
And the heat hitting his face and soul
Fernando Alonso is in the distance; Monty and he are close by
He crosses the line, while Ron talks to him about
Some guy from the North who lived long ago

Turning Kimi, the star winds through
Ron is right there with him—no fear involved
Except when, further down, the tire blows again
Thinking of tomorrow, Mind oh pulls through!

Beer, whiskey, and Russian vodka
And plenty of very cheap wine
At his grave, instead of candles
Kegs of beer will stand guard

Far now, racing down the track
Leaving the storms behind him
All that remains is the champagne
And the heat hitting his face and soul
Fernando Alonso is in the distance; Monty and he are close by
He crosses the line, and Ron tells him
About some guy from the North who lived long ago

Pfft, easy for you to just remix an existing song, isn't it? :P

Fine, why don't you try writing a decent sonnet about Monty then?😁

====
Let me tell you a story about this one guy from Finland
A real newcomer to the world of NASCAR
He rose up from nothing to reach the stars
And claimed his throne during the season's wars

The forecast was clear and bright as day
With the crowds cheering him on all the way
Even the legends reached out their hands
Afraid they were relics of forgotten lands

But then the kid discovered a bottle of vodka
And started knocking back shots like a total pro
The car would take off, driven by someone wasted

And just like that, the money and fame vanished fast
Because when you aren't driving with a sober head
There won't be any champagne left for you to sip
====

Monty is driving.
His gearbox just died. What a tragedy.
He's stuck in the gravel trap.

haha, since we're on the subject of chemistry and songs...

Can we get that one?

"Everybody at the bar knew his name, he was looking for salvation in a glass, but he just couldn't find it?"🙂)

Montoya is out there driving.
His transmission just gave up the ghost. It's pathetic.
He's sitting stuck in the gravel trap.

🤣

It’s practically a haiku. 😁

Exactly. It’s way more fun that way—you get to hum a tune everyone already knows while throwing in those new lyrics.

Alright, this guy is seriously controversial... 😁

Yellow and blue.
Leading. All good.
What a great Spaniard.
====
Ice in his eyes.
The axle snapped.
One lap before the end.
====
The red car.
He’s the world champion. Look at that beard.
Super ugly.
====
His teammate
Is like a little brother. Pretty solid.
Season opener.
====
The man in the shadows.
*missing some lyrics* 🙂
Heading off to BAR.
====
Yet another German.
His time is coming.
He just had a daughter.
====
Talented kid.
When he smiles you can see
The dimple in his beard.
====
There are a ton of
Germans on the leaderboard today.
Young and sweet.
====
First place but slow.
Flavio told him: now
Let the teammate through.
====
That shaped beard.
Race surprise.
Not many points.
====
Red light.
He doesn't wait. He passes.
Black flag.
====

I can't take it anymore.
I've got an exam tomorrow. Someone else
Just keep going.

Let’s not forget that lost Nostradamus's sonnet from the Book Time:

Like a swarm of bees, they will attack him daily
The Silver Arrow will arrive first
Red sorrow for 360 days

Vodka Under the Linden Tree

The races go by—where you are, who you're with—who cares?
Who was taking you while the winter snow fell?
Who took you away? May lightning strike them dead.

I don't care where you vanished to; my mouth is bone dry.
I don't care—you aren't water; just a hot head and a weak foot.
When the vodka hits, it breaks your spirit.

REF:
Vodka, vodka—everything is just like last year.
Hey, just a drop or two to make my heart pound.
A drop or two, a drop or two, to make my heart race.

I swear by my soul and by God.
By my own American peasant blood.
I swear to you, I will die, but I will never be sober.
I won't, I won't—but I'll die drinking vodka.

REF:
Vodka, vodka—everything is just like last year.
Hey, just a drop or two to make my heart pound.
A drop or two, a drop or two, to make my heart race.

*After the Spanish GP, Kimi Räikkönen dedicated this song to his favorite drink...
