Haiku Black Friday
The turkey has been eaten, prayers of gratitude said, laughter and song... now it is time for the fetid onslaught of materialism.
Today is the incredible "Black Friday," with retailers opening their doors at 4 A.M. for people eager to buy, uh... stuff. I'm not really sure what it is that you buy on Black Friday, really.
But, let's imagine that you could buy anything, if you get in line at 4 A.M. There is no "world peace exception" here: If you get up early and pay $299, you can get anything. What would it be?
Your first line should be "What is it I want?" The second line should be 6-8 syllables, and the last line shorter than the second (in terms of total syllables). It doesn't have to be philanthropic-- feel free to be a little selfish. Just be honest. Here is mine:
What is it I want?
Virus of imagination
Then I infect the world.
Now it is your turn...

about Black Friday Shopping;
I don't need anything
A different question - who cooked that beautiful bird? I don't dislike turkey, I just don't feel the need to eat it on Thanksgiving.
