Too late

This writing is about waking up late on Black Friday morning to go shopping. And being unsuccessful in finding the steal of a deal of the item that I desired purchase on sale.

I woke up morning late,
oh, forsake I hope I’m not late. 
Black Friday! 
It’s that time of year. 
The official season for shoppers is here. 
I hustle simultaneously with rut of shoppers,
on the road flocking to stores and malls,
while some shop by phones making calls.
 To bustle for the best deal to get. 
When prices plummet, the steal is set. 
I shop like it’s a reality game,
to see how much money I save,
does what consider for me to gain.
That too impulsive will bring buyer pain. 
Like a rollercoaster up and down the aisle I peek,
greeting shoppers with smile as I seek. 
The aisles are a ruinous display from shoppers. 
I am in shattered by the fact,
where on the shelves my item lacks. 
I did not consider the timing,
now too late for Christmas finding.

Oh this is so true everywhere in the world James. Lovely write and a great disappointment when the shelves of the item one seeks is all sold out. Maria PS I like your description 'I hustle simultaneously with rut of shoppers'
