A Dark Day

Bellies filled

with food and laughter

even on the

morning after.

Too stuffed to eat 

a morning meal,

Eyes bigger than

my tummy;

That's how I feel.

Can't understand

the lines on the news.

People up all night

shopping? 

How could they choose

to stand in line for a

supposed deal

when warm and cozy

with family is what should 

be real.

A dark day is upon us

so be prepared

Overzealous shoppers

we should be scared

Pepper spray and crowd control

pushing, shoving sell your soul

It's all to get that

supposed deal

It's just madness.

That's how I feel.

I am safe inside 

with my full belly.

Leftovers calling my name

I'd rather wrestle with

more stuffing

as over crowding

bargain shopping's

just ever so lame.
