Black Friday Brawlers

Behind a column of people she stood,
knuckles bleached from gripping her shopping cart,
a nervous bead of sweat formed on her brow;
Cecille was a patient woman, a devout Christian, a caring mother.
When her son told Santa he wanted Modern Warfare 3,
all that she knew of the subject was that she would have it.

As quickly as he could,
He lept between women, children, and even old farts,
Their anger for him meant nothing, for he could almost see it now.
Brent was a gamer, one of rare caliber; in his life he had met not another.
Since it was first announced, he thought not of another; Modern Warfare 3,
It was Black Friday today, and on this day he would have it.

They would have never met, had fate done as it should,
but another force was at work, practicing his art,
The Spirit of Black Friday was running amok, he was having a cow.
Dancing and weaving a quilt of hate, it the consumers that he sought to smother.
He watched and he waited, and found the thread to bind all together, Modern Warfare 3
There was a day to be won, and by devil, he would have it.


There was yet another that day, his name was Cassius Wood,
he was the manager, but tonight, he was a dart,
He'd seen it all before, but up until now,
there wasn't a sight he hadn't seen. Well, tonight was like no other,
She had struck with her right, while her left clutched none other than Modern Warfare 3,
The kid hit her back, yelling, "I had it first, you decrepit old bitch!"

That's when he stepped in, and did what he could,
Cecille's cousin Jacob jumped in to break them apart.
Surprised at who stepped in, she decided to back down,
Brent, too ceased, figuring he was her brother,
Then she did the unexpected and fled, fleeing with Modern Warfare 3!
Brent took off after her, knowing that one way or another, he would have it.

And when security stopped her, along with Mr. Wood,
she was taken off to jail, Black Friday had did his part.
and if you ask of yourself, every now and again, "what's wrong with this town?"
remember the Black Friday is there, seeking to smother,
there's always an X-Factor, and when it's Modern Warfare 3,
all hell will break loose, you should have reserved it.
