It’s That Time!
It’s Black Friday –
Hitting the bricks and mortars
Through the burst doors.
Be aware of those gift hoarders!
Getting there early,
Even then you could be late.
Deep savings.
BOGO* might be the bait.
On Cyber Monday
Better deals your catching.
Free shipping, buying memberships,
But personal information they’re snatching.
Surfing for gifts,
Much faster, too.
You’d even wish to drone them
To Aunt Sue and Uncle Lou.
But Giving Tuesday
Is really the best
Contributing to selfless causes
To make a big difference.
The Salvation Army, the fire victims help.
Boys and Girls Clubs, fun things the kids can do.
Wounded Warrior Project, empowering Vets.
World Vision, gifting the needy something new.
So don’t forget Giving Tuesday,
On your calendar this year,
Bringing hope to others,
And a lot of Christmas cheer.
— Charles B. Mayes
