Well, Black Friday is over and today is Cyber Monday. Shop till you drop for stuff you really don’t need or can’t afford. So I wrote this little poem about it:
To Hell With Christmas
.
It’s holiday time in America
Hanukka and Christmas be dammed.
We’re stampeding Walmart and Target,
Our SUVs will be crammed.
.
Is this what Jesus was born for,
People killed for midnight sales?
Socks or an I-Pod at half price –
Spend, spend, spend, still prevails.
.
This year the greed is for bargains.
Even Santa’s got into the act.
He sold his soul for cheap flat screens.
His partner, the devil’s, out back.
.
So come on Dancer and come on Blitzen
Trample the crèche on the lawn.
Don’t matter how we got it
As long as it’s 75% off at dawn!
