The Other Fellow's Viewpoint

The Other Fellow's Viewpoint
anonymous

When you hear that someone's crooked
When such news comes to you,
It always pays to wait a while
Before you think it's true.

Sometimes the other fellow
Has a story he could tell,
That would make the story you heard
Not sound so very well.

Two people may not see alike
And both may think they're fair,
And yet bemean each other
With words that rend the air.

So when you meet someone that's mad
And he gives you his line
It's better that you stop him
And declare the weather's fine.

Most everyone think he's right,
Whatever he may do,
And very seldom stops to think
Of the other fellow's view.

But the other fellow's viewpoint
We should always have in mind,
Then many things would not be said
That do sound so unkind.
