FYI, Mark " Y'all have a Peas-full Thanksgiving "

POINT OF VIEW

 

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, lobsters, lamb chops too

'Til I stopped and looked at dinner

>From the dinner's point of view.
