“Point of View” by Shel Silverstein 🇺🇸 (25 Sep 1930 – 10 May 1999)
Thanksgiving dinner’s sad and thankless
Christmas dinner’s dark and blue
When you stop and try to see it
From the turkey’s point of view.
​
Sunday dinner isn’t sunny
Easter feasts are just bad luck
When you see it from the viewpoint
Of a chicken or a duck.
​
Oh how I once loved tuna salad
Pork and lobsters, lamb chops too
’Til I stopped and looked at dinner
From the dinner’s point of view.
