Black Friday, the malls opened at 1 a.m., <br />The economy needs a drink; <br />Like someone nursing a hangover, <br />The credit card will ease some of the pain, <br />With shopping online and for those, <br />who have less money, <br />Their boat is just about to sink. <br />As the boat did off South Shetland Islands, <br />But no one can help, maybe a bankruptcy 13 or 7. <br />The economy has been bit hard with rising energy costs, <br />Home defaults, <br />car repossessions, <br />credit limitations <br />Much to do with the sub-prime mortgage debacle, <br />Black Friday, is this last hurrah, <br />before we shrink in to a recession? <br />The dollar has been weakening, <br />good for American companies to sell their goods abroad, <br />(see Observation, For I don’t give a damn about a Green Back Dollar) <br />Not so good for American who face a double-edge sword that cuts both ways, <br />The dollar is worth less than it had been a month ago, <br />Which means you are earning less and less. <br />However the price of life is rising, eggs, milk, fuel, energy seems to endlessly, <br />Cost more, Cash devaluement juxtaposed to monetary inflation, <br />Not too mention wars, droughts, fires, added a cost to the entire economy. <br />Black Friday is not necessary Good Friday, <br />More like Black Tuesday or Black Thursday, <br />The repercussions will take place the second month 2008, <br />While the candidates run for office and debate, <br />Will the credit card statements be cashed in or not? <br />The records will be posting profits on paper but not in cash drawer. <br />Payments will be late, <br />and finally no more. <br />In the future there may not a Black Friday but a Red One will be on its way. <br />Just as in RED Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday. <br /> <br />(11-24-2007)<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/black-friday-5/
