Going Shopping on Black Friday?A Poem by Elton CampNope, not me.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
