Going Shopping On Black Friday?
Going Shopping on Black Friday?
By Elton Camp
Make a frenzied trip to the store?
We don’t do like that anymore
Store will open before daylight?
In that I take not the least delight
Get in all that traffic at the mall
But, to us, it is not worth it at all
People will go to shop in droves
Hoping they’ll find treasure troves
The biggest shopping day of the year
But that’s not always accurate, I hear
Some line up for many hours ahead
About great bargains they have read
Once inside, shoppers rush and snatch
Trying to get the very best of the catch
This they think that they really must do
Of the bargains, store have only a few
Have been cases where blood’s spilled
And a Wal Mart worker, shoppers killed
They smashed in the glass front door
And trampled the man in the mad roar
A shooting and killing at a Toys R Us
When angry customers got into a fuss
Save a few dollars, it’s not worth to me
So I will stay at home and just let it be
