"Black Friday" craziness
T'was the night of Thanksgiving *Turkey*
Leftovers are all put away;
People up from their naps and ballgames *Sleeping* *Football*
There is no time to play.

Grabbing their keys and wallets *Key2*
Out the door they do fly;
Gotta get the Christmas deals *GiftP*
Before they pass us by.

The parking lot is full,
There's no buggies to be found; *Cart*
I can't believe I'm doing this -
The madness, the riots - the sound! *Shock2*

Checkout lines are stacked
To the very back of the store; *Think*
There are a few cashiers, *People*
Good Heavens! They need more!

The tale has taught one thing,
And this I believe,
Computer shopping's the answer *Computer*
For the stress to relieve. *Headbang*
