Twas the day before Christmas
and all through the store
were last minute shoppers
and crazies galore.
Here I'll have to admit
I waited too long
and too put off shopping
while knowing it's wrong.
With one console left,
a gift for my boy,
a PlayStation 5
I knew he'd enjoy.
The clerk opened the case.
Its style was unique.
I got pushed aside
by some gamer freak.
He grabbed the last console.
I pushed him right back,
but what happened next...
that wacko attacked.
Twas the day before Christmas
as I flew through the air
and the movie display
was thrashed everywhere.
He instantly vanished
like night to the dawn,
and he and my gift
were magically gone.
There I waited in anguish
for cops to arrive.
So my son got a card...
no PlayStation 5.
