Today's word is "oniomania" ... oh-nee-uh-MEY-nee-uh. an uncontrollable desire to buy things. (dictionary.com)
Mine
The clock strikes one day after,
The great Thanksgiving day,
Known as the blackest Friday,
When crazy greed holds sway.
Oniomania strikes,
And everyone goes mad,
Even sweet old ladies,
In the aisles, are bad.
Waiting in expansive lines,
Is nothing for these folks,
Less than fourteen hours there,
To them is just a joke.
How we got into this fix,
Is a mystery confusing,
But it seems these attitudes,
Are of our own sad choosing.
