Shop shop shop
Shop until you drop
Then shop even more
For the items you want to adore
Black Friday
Cyber Monday
Call it what you will
You will keep shopping until
You’ve spent all your money
Ain’t it so funny?
That you nabbed that deal
Because you thought the deals were real?
Some camped out all night
Hoping not to get a fright
Because its scary not getting that TV
Can you even believe?
The day after giving thanks
People empty their banks
Fighting to get new stuff
Because no one can ever have enough
They will fight and claw
Even punch you in the jaw
To get that item they want
Capitalism at its most blunt
This is what people think
Christmas is all about
Fighting over a small toy
Instead of sharing in all the joy
Every year I grow
To hate this season more and more
Because of all the greed
That I see in every deed
Happiness and Goodwill towards men be damned
Screw you all
And screw you well
For I got my deepfryer on sale
I only had to sit for hours
On a sidewalk in the snow
Wrestle some woman to the ground
And kick a man in the groin
But I saved a dollar ninety-nine
Suck on that, you Black Friday noob!
I saw you standing in that Toys-R-Us line
Watching a catfight, hoping to see a boob.
A sad day indeed
When we all agree we need
Something more than family
To celebrate such a wonderful holiday....
