Dave Cox Poet Rhyme

Black Friday

I bought you a gift, Black Friday cheap
I hoped you would like it and want to keep
My credit card quaked and shook in my hand
I spent much more than I had planned

Black Friday gripped me, bargains galore
I saw the glitter, glistening and spent some more
The gold so yellow, Black Friday blond, amber
Will drape with pride on your delicate camber.

Black Friday arrived, a wooden gift box hidden
Inside the thinnest chain your heart may be broken
The diamonds larger on the screen, but tiny reality
The gold a wafer, the emeralds pale lacking vitality

Black Friday lied and Black Friday cheated
My cards are naked, my accounts are depleted
I dashed in the morning through the showers
And hid Black Friday, with a bunch of flowers.

Paula Goldsmith February 27, 2023 at 1:17 PM Your "Black Friday" was so cute/true. I don't do that day any more. Have a wonderful day................... Dave Cox February 27, 2023 at 2:02 PM Paula, thank you. I hate how they know they are lying and still con people into buying their goods. I hate deceit and hate black Friday. Love fellow poets though and people with talent. Dave
