An angry anthill, having just been kicked,
the workers rushing to repair the breach.
That's Walmart as the lucky shoppers, ticked,
contort themselves for items out of reach.
It squirms and wriggles, pulsing as it flows,
this mass of human, shall we call it flesh?
Unchecked the melee likely comes to blows
and consequently threatens to enmesh
the retail standard in a scandal. Worse,
the evening news will run the lurid clip.
Though amply stocked and furnished, the perverse
impression driving many more to ship.
Some think accounts revert from red to black.
But Walmart knows there is no turning back.
