All who knew him insisted that He was a great guy: Warm-hearted, Gentle, Caring and kind, Thinking only of his fellow Man. Ready was he to sacrifice himself for the common good But when Black Friday came, and found himself last in line, he Couldn't stand it Thus Suddenly, he rushed through the lines, Kicking and cursing, Pushing everyone aside, Stopping at nothing till He got what he wanted. Satisfied, he smiled. He was so proud of his achievement! Then he cooled down once more, Becoming the loving fellow they all knew. You see, my friends, he had to keep up With the appearances, as Christmas was approaching, and He didn't wish to miss the spirit of the season For a good Christian he was, and so he wished to remain Till next year's Black Friday comes! © Demetrios Trifiatis 25 November 2022

The pursuit of hedonistic desires might drive one nuts. You did an excellent job of describing him, dear friend Demetrios.

You described him well my friend. Material instincts can be maddening. Lovely blooms!

Nothing like a bit of gold fever to turn normally placid people into beasts. There will be a lot of it about today lol. Tom

Precisely, my dearest friend, Tom. A metamorphosis of character just to get material things. What a pity! Thank you. Blessings.
