oysters (Free verse) by crooked_smile
the world is my oyster
and Iâm facing a pretty tough moral dilemma
think back, if you will
to that spot, in Alice in Wonderland
where the two characters
(whose names I canât quite put my fingers on)
were discussing cabbages and kings
(not to mention why the sea is boiling hot â
- and whether pigs have wings)
When they chance upon a mother
with her baby oysters
(if you recall)
they use devious methods
and evil
ways
to trick the oysters into becoming
their
next meal.
The question I have
for you,
my dear friend,
is
if the world is my oyster
should we always take
advantage of the fortunes
it can provide
or is it only fair to let
the oysters
keep their
pearls?
