Even though it doesn’t apply to me and this country couldn’t care less about it, I still want to greet those that are celebrating it a HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Since I have little opinion on the matter, I leave you with the words of Shel Silverstein. Shel is <3. Go pick up a copy of The Giving Tree or Where The Sidewalk Ends.

Point of View
by Shel Silverstein

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.

PS – Yes, that’s my hand and my handiwork. I was bored. So sue me. Oh yeah, and if you click on the turkey, you get the actual size of my hand. To save you a click, I’mma tell you right now, it’s small.
