Black Friday

Fists flying people crying On this crazy day black Friday What a disgrace as the hunter’s race Christmas bargains with a punch in the face Dozens of brawls and 999 calls From stores all around the country These midnight sales just turned into hell Behaving like wild animals that were hungry Shopping madness hit the towns Customers fighting like savaged clowns Ripped stuff down from the shelves stacked high And within minutes the TV’s and gadgets went dry Reports came in from everywhere This place is a battlefield they don’t care Shocking behaviour and violence broke out Some were screaming whilst others would shout It was deadly like a war picture scene People grabbing and pushing for just anything They were having a tug of war over electrical goods Rivals punching black and blue to snatch for their hoods Supermarkets were forced to close their doors When the crowds rushed in they forgot civil laws It was a shameful site and the customers weren’t polite Those black Friday shoppers they did fuss and they did fight © Copyright by KC.Leake 29th November 2014 All Rights Reserved

We dont have black friday on the isle where I live but when there are huge sales I do try to avoid shopping.I hate being trapped in a crowd.It gives me claustrophobia.. I do love doing Christmas shopping these days,but I always tdy to find dsys eere not too many people invade the streets. Great description in your poem,No wonder the day is called Black : ).

Hi Jan, Yes of course your right, when people result to violence for goods. Then what has it come to. Best wishes Kevin
