Black Friday

The sale is over, the offer expired
The coupons I clipped were lost in the fire
No more year-end specials, no more 2 for 1
Looks like I'm paying full price from now on

It seemed like a deal, we were innocent and young
You know how it goes, it's free, the first one
We felt light as a feather, that's how it begins
The smell of fresh leather, the chrome and fins

It doesn't take long, you can't get enough
You're soon moving on to the harder stuff

The kids gather 'round a cold fireplace
The parents are out crashing the gates
It's blenders and Barbies, may the most ruthless win
Don't get between me and the bargain bin,

And Jesus is weeping, man is he pissed:
You've got to be kidding,I suffered for this?

My stockings are hung up, my Christmas list made
I prepared all the hallmarks, the bath and the blade
There's no exit sign, no fire escape
Nothing forgiven for heaven's sake,

And Jesus is screaming, man is he pissed,
You've got to be kidding, I suffered for this?

- rags and bones

This is the last week. I swear.

The measure of this looks familiar... but they weren’t my stockings and it's too early for My Christmas List!

Nice dress Fish, I like the fabric and neck line - to bad it wasn't about 4 inches longer but hey if you've got the legs for it you might as well show them, maybe Karen will lend you her stalkings.

I like your name rags and bones - makes me think of rags and feathers from the thrift store.

Thanks, Cate. Thrift store is exactly right. You hit the nail right on the head:

"Those masterful images because complete
Grew in pure mind, but ouf what began?
A mound of refuse or the sweeping of the street,
Old kettles, old bottle, and a broken can,
Old iron, old bones, old rags, that raving slut
Who keeps the till. Now that my ladder's gone,
I must lie down where all the ladders start,
in the foul rag and bone shop of the heart."
-W.B. Yeats
