The Last Boss.

Ben Dunne.

Step to the task, the penultimate task,

step one, step two, step three, stop, step alive.

Encounter your trouble, stop slow to ask,

stop to step, step to ask, step four, step five.

Run once, twice, jump, grasp, grapple, stand steady,

rejoice, celebrate, delight, stop stepping.

Appreciate your fame, but be ready,

rest easy, yet start some early prepping.

Your previous task was last but one more.

As the ultimate task lies close ahead,

prepare your mind, close up tight, right before,

you are called up, to step over the dead,

to battle throughout the haze, through the heat,

step up, to become, the last boss to beat.
