Black Friday
Survived my first Black Friday.
My toes and feet a' screaming
I didn't sleep a wink last night
So stressed I wasn't dreaming
I arrived to work at 5 AM
My nose a rosy froze
Bundled in cool black attire
I strutted through the door.
The store was full customers
For sales they would buy
It seemed they bought most anything
It didn't matter why.
I admit I had a lot of fun
In a strange surreal way.
Though I wish I had two more days
Then I could recuperate.
