Black Fridays Matter? Not To Me!

by Reese Turner

No, I did not go to Wal-Mart today! Today being Black Friday, I stayed away! It’s not like me to declare such a thing, Knowing the joy Wal-Mart can bring,   But, over-hyped and over-crowded be The aisles of Wal-Mart, and others, to me; Not worth the trouble and human tangle Among those seeking a top savings angle.   And, in these dark days of COVID scare Heck if I would risk life by going in there! So, I was not among the deal-seeking throng I was at my house, on-line, where I belong.   But, my email is filled with come-ons galore From houses to plane rides, to much more: A plethora of Black Friday savings, indeed, But nearly all of it things I do NOT need!   And, Black Friday was once just one day, Then, a week, now a month; “Stop!” I say! Let marketeers hawketh what they gotteth, Today, I’ll sign not upon any line dotteth!   I commit not to roam Away from my home Upon all Fridays' Black; That, folks, be a fact!
