‘Twas the dawn of Black Friday, and in front of the store,
The people had camped out all night by the door,
Their bottoms were nestled in frozen lawn chairs,
As they peered through the glass, plotting what would be theirs.
The veteran shoppers were dressed for the weather
Eyeing new blood, as they huddled together,
When toward the glass doors an employee came near,
With a key in his hand and his face filled with fear
They watched him approach, with their eyes opened wide
He unlocked the door and then leaped to the side.
Like antelope, torn from their watering hole fun,
When the lion creeps nearer, break into full run,
So into the store the patrons did dash,
With lists miles long and buttloads of cash.
More rapid than eagles, they grabbed at Wii Games
They pushed, kicked and called one another foul names.
The Black Friday shoppers went straight to their works,
They prided themselves on behaving like jerks.
They said, "Puck your mother!" (or words of that sort)
As shopping became a full-contact sport!
Black Friday peeps, know this as you roam-
You're fighting without me, I'm staying at home!

Love it. I wish they would have read this over the announcements at Wal-Mart this morning - people are freaking CRAZY.
I wish you would have said buttloads of cash... it would have made me laugh harder! lol
I hate Black Friday. No sale is worth throwing aside safety or courtesy.
That is great Erika. I am staying home tto. I am cyber shopping today. There are great deals to be had, while in my p.j.'s I am clad!
Thanks for the love on this one, guys. I didn't hear about the terrible trauma of the day until I had already written this post.
I opted to stay in too. It would have meant driving 30 minutes into Tulsa to start with and just didn't seem like it was worth the effort for the $20 I wanted to spend on two MP3 players. I did venture out this evening and they were sold out. Oh well.
Hillarious!
Thats great! I love it!
