A Reflection on Black Friday

People think I have to get some stuff
So I need to be first in line
Because I can never have enough
Give me, give me, give me
Get, get, get
More, more, more
Must get trinkets for Jan and gadgets for Lee
Bangles for Steffy and oh yes, something for me
Socks for Stan, CDs for Grady
It’s OK if we trample the old lady
Because all that stuff we really really need
What? Are you accusing me of greed?
No, not me, I certainly don’t see it
I’m getting ties for Bill and Joan really needs that widget
Must get games for Jayden, must get that new phone
Hungry kids? Can they chew on a bone?
Give me, give me, give me
Get, get, get
More, more, more
So we buy up and pile up and store away
Will we pay the ultimate price for all this someday?
