“In the tone of It was the night before Christmas”
‘Twas the morning of Black Friday, and all through the town, Not a shopper was sleeping, all were scrolling down. The ad-scans were studied with meticulous care, In hopes that the doorbusters soon would be there.
The children were not in their beds, but were cramped, In a cold, frosty tent, where the bargain-folk camped. While Ma clutched her coupons and Pa checked the ad, “I need that new TV! I need it so bad!”
When at 5 a.m., there arose such a clatter, The doors were flung wide! (What was the matter?) Away to the entrance they flew like a flash, All trampling each other to make the mad dash.
Like animals hunting, a frenzied, wild bunch, A poor fellow fell in the terrible crunch. He’d just reached for a laptop, with true shopping zeal, “Get off me!” he yelled, “That’s a 50-buck steal!”
Two grown men were tussling right by the game rack, Over a console, they’d started to thwack. Flat screens and new gadgets, appliances galore, Were grabbed from the pallets and tossed on the floor.
The shelves were left barren, as shoppers tore through, “It’s MINE!” they all shouted, a chaotic crew. A cart filled with air-frys, just simply because At sixty percent off, they earned great applause.
A woman had tablets, a Target-run spree, Her cart was piled high, how lucky was she! An employee just pointed at TVs in back, “Don’t run!” he advised, “Or you’ll break the whole stack!”
The stores soon half-emptied, the doorbusters gone, A new wave crept in with the first light of dawn. Like vultures descending to pick at the gap, They searched for a bargain left on the map.
The five-dollar-bin searched, ’twas a terrible plight, For all that was left on this frantic, mad night. When from deep in the mess came a joyous shout, “A two-dollar Sharknado!” he cried, heading out.
The shoppers left broke, feeling nearly half-dead, And passed by a jolly man, dressed all in red. He exclaimed as I drove and passed out of sight, “Shop online, my dear friends! It’s the new modern delight!”
Have a Great Weekend everyone,
