You might race the many animals across the Serengeti
You might run through any jungle, clearing paths with a machete,
You might speed along the aisle and avoid all the confetti
Or go trekking in Nepal and overtake a trundling yeti.
You could join the speedygeese and try to match Marie Fischetti
When we start from Parly House and turn around at Yarra Jetty,
Every effort of this kind will make you thirsty hot and sweaty
So persist with constant training and keep eating your spaghetti.
And in time you may succeed and be as quick as Moneghetti.
I swear I did not type this on an ageing Olivetti.
...and here's the lovely Marie herself...
