Like nothing you’ve ever seen, like nothing you’ve ever experienced – it’s an extravaganza, and you’re about to be pulled onstage.

I need another one!
Anyone will do!
If nobody volunteers,
It maybe could be you!
I hope that you’re prepared -
Most fear and hate this place.
They think that you can’t do it and
You can’t keep up the pace.
Plow through the competition!
Defeat your living foe!
Pretend you don’t know he can feel
And place him down below.
Wrestle with your conscience.
Grapple with your faith.
Just don’t be too obnoxious when
Your home’s host to a wraith.
No!
Don’t be like the others!
Don’t give up too soon!
Death is a ghastly price to pay
And is inopportune.
I give and take and profit,
And stow it all away.
My promise is a binding word:
You’ll never last the day.
Why does this always happen?I haven’t got a clue.
I need another one!
Anyone will do!
