sam's vegan diner

To all the moms…I mean, people, who liked The Giving Tree

This little Shel Silverstein poem is circulating on the vegetarian forums, and today it goes out to all those people who lovingly read Where the Sidewalk Ends to me.

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
Till I stopped and looked at dinner
From the dinner’s point of view.
