This week’s BFF #75 Inspiration:

“Black Friday Sales”

Beating the Lines on Black Friday

Hard to believe it’s so very near,
the holidays are almost here,

as Santa’s elves are so busy and bright
trying to get everything just right

for all those good little girls and boys
who sent such very long lists of toys.

And now that the Macy’s parade is done
and eating that turkey was so much fun,

parents, aunts and uncles all over town
will be setting their alarms and marching on down

at dreadfully early hours way before the sun
to get in such long lines that can’t be much fun.

So on this Black Friday as the lines are so long
I know that my plan certainly won’t go wrong

as I ignore the crowds and their shopping spree
and go back to sleep ’till a quarter to three;

waking up just in time for a spot of tea,
having had such a beautiful day to be me.
