And all through the store
Was a mass throng of people --
The horror! The gore!
The carts willy-nilly
All over the aisle;
People pushing and shoving
Behavior gone vile.
The lines to the checkout
Were several hours long.
Ice cream had melted;
The turkey'd gone wrong.
The mayhem; the bloodshed -
The disharmony,
Just so we can spend
A day with family.
I see all their faces
Pressed up near the glass.
I'm not going in there --
I'd bust my old ass.
The best thing about
Watching this sad display:
I did all my grocery
Shopping Monday.
Happy Thanksgiving Eve, everybody!
