Bought the paper on Thanksgiving Read it on Black Friday The story of the homeless out in California, Seattle, and New York City How 3,500 dollar rent is forcing working people to be homeless in Seattle How the pay of jobs is not even close to keeping up with the cost of living Then I read all the stuff that was for sale Lots of drones Big ones and little ones Big teddy bears One that was 52 inches tall! Video game systems Xbox One and Playstation 4 Lots of cheap DVDs Guns and clothes and copper pans Christmas sweaters, perfume, and diamond rings I spent 6 dollars and change at Burger King Got onion rings, jr. whopper, and a Mello Yello I got buy real cheap And I didn't have to fight any crowds!

About this poem:
I have never bought anything on Black Friday. I just buy a newspaper to see why over 45 million people go nuts over this stuff.
