Don't Go to Moon Lake


Fergsion's Town is a small settlement 

Filled with jolly, bright people 

Open armed and openminded. 

Though they cared not what you did, a warning 

Always attached their "Top of the morning" 

"Do not go to Moon Lake." 

Curiosity, being an active  

Trickster, seizes their minds, 

Convincing the residents that 

Moon Lake could be a sham. 

They called the TV crew and 

The crew decided to set out 

At night, the worst time to 

Visit Moon Lake. 

 

Afterwards, the entire town found out what happened 

From the guy who drives the news van. 

The man informed them that Moon Lake  

Is not as dangerous as people have heard it be 

And suggested they all see for themselves. 

The townspeople were suspicious, but 

The people left to go to Moon Lake in the evening. 

The driver was a member of the TV crew, 

He looked trustworthy. 

 

The survivor waited for a few hours. 

He did not go with the townspeople, 

He wanted to see what sort of sorcery 

Laid for their fate 

He got his answer when a flurry of fur 

Raced past his window 

Their mouths bloodied red, the air rushed 

The accomplice looked to the moon over 

Moon Lake 

It shaded the water white, a foggy reminder 

Of monsters that lurked and visited Moon Lake 

The accomplice grinned 

Nighttime truly is the best time 

For bamboozling
