The Second Round

It is time for the second round 
In this ghastly ghost town 
Looking out there 
Scenery that is a scare 
They want to do it again 
Knocking off good looking girls and men 
First time was a success 
Advertising thirteen bodies and a murderous mess 
Camp counseling characters 
Were the main factors 
In a film with a vengeful attacker 
Delusional about who was the stab backer  
A mother’s enduring love was the reason 
To spin a tale during the campfire season
Making white marsh mellows turn black 
Using a stick to burn the gooey snack 
Another entourage assembled for the cast 
All having a photogenic image past
Credible enough to handle this bloody task 
From one still looking for a hockey mask 
Those who stayed at the bar 
Discussing reality from earth to mars 
Did not know things were going too far 
Under the moon lit stars 
Ordering up the second round 
When things were going down 
Made the debate act over brewing cheer 
An excuse to miss the boy from lake throwing a spear 
After the night filled with drink 
And a discussion that made people think 
Carnage was found 
Not committed by those enjoying the friendly second round 
In a bar far from the camp fire 
Who disappeared due to being curious with too much inquire 
Enjoy this second round on Friday night 
Filled with a fight and a worthy fright
