Is Black Week Selling Your Soul?
An acrostic poem from a Danish view
Bunches of dilligent selling People
Lacking every sense of honesty
Attacking the common thinking
Cronically with colourfull offers
Knowlegde wiped out by all means
.
Wishbone cracking Thursday
Evidently faking best of family
Eradicating bad memories
Kindly payed with heart blood.

Author´s Note
I am a Dane. In Denmark we have no tradition of Thanksgiving. The whole thing of celebrating Thanksgiving and Black Week as it has started to be called here is for me an absurdity. It is like standing on just one leg the whole time, even when you have two!

I think the way it is celebrated may come across as a little extreme - but traditions can be adjusted!
I love the standing on one leg when you have two! I’m a thankless Brit living in the US - I love Thanksgiving - it’s like Christmas light! I do find it weird that we have Black Friday in the U.K. though without the thanksgiving?! Weird. The entire world is weird right now! Loved your poem though.
Hahahahaha standing on one leg when we have two, that was hilariously brilliant! Loved your poem as well
It is bigger than Christmas in the US. I totally don't get the whole black week thing.
