... Do you think oysters are pacifists?

Hi Barbie,

Wait a minute.....oh no, I feel a haiku coming on....

Oyster pacifists?
those from the Pacific might
claim it to be so

I myself think that the minute anything in nature decides to become a pacifist, it quickly becomes dead.

Okay, here goes:

spheres of perfection

soft like the glow of midnight
the queen of jewels

I couldn't agree more. Nature abhors a vacuum. To much pacifism can be a cover for parsimony.
On the other hand, there are sharks in the water.

Parsimony. Wow, good word Barbie. I googled and I still don't get it.
