They crowded into the hotel for the party
sitting in their specific groups
on neatly laid out christmas round tables
wine flowed during the evening
music started to play increasing to blaring
inhibitions lost and more swearing!
The happy factor slowly began to deteriorate
aggression began to materialise
those around the tables had the urge to kill
way passed the drunken phase
some realising there was no longer joviality
at the dawn of a dark reality!
Niggling amongst the women turned to threats
a slap glasses and bottles throne
punches started flying around the men joined in
dancing abruptly turned to a melee
soon a battle ensued wounded scattered around
as the first casualty hit the ground!
Soon the wounded became deaths as the law came
this created even more trouble
as the violence spread to other parts and outside
decorations and presents lay strewn
on shiny lino and carpet along with personal gear
those able were made to clear!
Eventually the fighting was brought to an end
the cause had to be investigated
even now rage still simmered as police vans
came in mass to take them to jail
and growing foreboding there would be more
this was a violence not seen before!
High in the clouds the mutated spores began to fall
where they had lived for centuries
in another part of the country as the dance began
and they were slowly inhaled
rapidly turned the happy revellers into lunacy
there would be nowhere to flee!
