(In the tone of It was the Night Before Christmas)
It was the night of Thanksgiving and all through the town black Friday deals come early like never before.
Stores opened early, disrupting family time, “Farewell to dinners,” they said in a chime.
Children in tents, freezing and cramped, Outside Best Buy, where bargains were camped. Ma with her coupons, Pa with a rant, Don’t you cut in line, was his rant.
At the mall, all was a clatter, doors flung wide, People running wild, cash savings as their guide. Hair pulling, elbows thrown in the rush, Like animals hunting, a frenzied hush.
A lady fell, in the chaotic crush, A fear she stayed down, in the mad rush. Fighting for deals, a fervent zeal, Discounts so deep, a shopping steal.
Two ladies tussled at the clothing rack, Over a sweater, a sleeve they attack. Flat screens, laptops, appliances galore, Discounts, sales, and even more. Shelves ransacked, as shoppers do, “Go to hell!” they yelled, a chaotic crew. Three microwaves bought, just because, At 40 percent off, applause.
One lady with iPads, a Walmart spree, Gift cards galore, how rad is she? An employee whispered of TVs in the back, Duck and cover, stay off the pallet jacks.
Stores emptied out, doorbusters done, A second wave came, shopping for fun. No dawn lines, too good for that crap, Vultures descended, scavenging the gap. Bins searched for finds, Black Friday’s plight, Everything bought, a desperate night. From deep in the store, a joyous shout, “Norbit for two bucks!” bought without doubt.
People left, broke and nearly dead, Passing a jolly man, all dressed in red. He exclaimed, as I drove out of sight, “Shop online, my friends, it’s the new modern delight!”
Have a Great Weekend everyone,
David
