Black Friday

B argains, bargains, bargains!
L ines of people around the store,
A nticipating treasures,
C osting less than ever before.
K eeping eyes wide open,

F or extra friendly deals.
R acing, reaching, grabbing,
I nclined to grunt and squeal.
D ignity takes a back seat,
A s agressive shoppers push,
Y ielding dispositions not so sweet.

Shop until you drop - or at least until you are broke. Good job. Brent

haha- love it Kim! I enjoyed your take on this and about this strange and harried day in the world of shoppers...... Must be hard to act like that and remember what Christmas is all about at the same time!! :)
