I'M Sleeping In On Black Friday
I'm Sleeping In On Black Friday
By Elton Camp
Soon we will see Black Friday again
Peace on earth, good will toward men
Start of the Christmas holiday season
Robs some folks of their sound reason
There’s no way that I’d enjoy
Fighting over some scarce toy
Standing in line all night long
Is a place that I don’t belong
It’s not worth it to have to face
“You moved, so I take your place!”
The doors finally open wide
Push and shove to get inside
Riots this year may be repeated
Whenever the stock is depleted
Snatching, grabbing doesn’t entice
Over some mere electronic device
One customer last year was dead
Baseball bat applied to his head
“That last doll you can’t buy!
Here’s what you get for the try!”
It's all humbug anyway
Safe in my bed, I’ll stay
