    Clamshells

     Whoever invented the clamshell
    Should in a sulfuric environment forever dwell
    These are not the Clams of chowder fame
    But rather packaging gone insane
    Stab them, cut them or beat them with a hammer
    Assault them in any violent manner
    Still they resist your intervention
    As if they anticipate your every intention
    So in the spirit of the punishment fit the crime
    Don't buy anything in a clamshell
    No matter how trendy or fine
    Then the makers will have to recall the goods they cannot sell
    And spend an eternity removing them from the shell

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
