Some folks live for Black Friday,
Camping out for hours on end—
Even in subfreezing temps
Accosting sales ‘fore they end.
Betimes midst violent outbreaks,
Folks grab their most-prized things.
There’s pushing, shoving, clutching:
Toys—clothes—tech tools—bling.
Black Friday has been fashioned
To save the brick and mortars
Technology’s changed the game—
On line is the order.
This plan devised by merchants
Lures shoppers to the stores,
Else all the brick and mortars
Would have to close their doors.
