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.
