The Little Old Man in the Peanut

I sit at the table, for supper I sit
A bowl that is wooden is holding my meal:
A peanut, so lovely I'm gathering spit
To sample and savour its lonely appeal.

My knife and my fork in my left and my right
I gently saw open, I open the shell
But just as my teeth its interior bite
A thin reedy voice crossly says, "Bloody Hell!"

A little old man, from the peanut he springs
And glares at me under two brows gleaming dark
Exclaiming, "Though I may not own any wings,
An angel I am, and my words you must hark.

This house that I live in, what you call a 'nut'
Holds all the world's answers, to life and to pain.
Should you eat it now to fill your empty gut
A hope for the people is never again."

But just as he finishes making his speech
A voice from the fork, from the fork does it come -
"I hold now before you a snowy white peach
That will satisfy more than a woman or rum."

A maiden appears, a fair maiden is she:
The snowy white peach, in her hands does it sit.
"I know you go hungry, the hunger knows me
And I sympathize with where your problems have hit.

I offer an option you cannot refuse:
To gain such a peach - it will help you survive
The peanut you'll eat; with the last of your chews
This peach will quell hunger so long you're alive."

The little old man looks imploring, at me
My stomach churns hopefully, cogs slowly grind
I desp'rately want to remain my life free
Of unyielding hunger - I make up my mind.

I say to the grandpa, "Your plea - I shan't heed it."
He miserably draws to the shell with a cry
I look at it closely, and finally eat it -
And in the ensuing explosion, we die.

Web 2.0

"The term "Web 2.0" refers to a perceived second generation of web development and design, that aims to facilitate communication, secure information sharing, interoperability, and collaboration on the World Wide Web. Web 2.0 concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities, hosted services, and applications; such as social-networking sites, video-sharing sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies."

One might say, why listen to a Phybix? This is a good thing; in doing so one questions society. Nonconformism is the first rule of joining the group of the Phybii. However, it is generally wiser to accept that Phybii have always and will always be superior in knowledge and general wisdom, and therefore should not be questioned. Those Phybii who might bear grudges against over-curious specimens of the human race might vent their anger in various obscene and violent ways. A Phybix is not to be trifled with.

That being said, Phybii are generally very relaxed, calm personalities: oftentimes they are the best option available when a therapist suddenly cancels an appointment. They are also ideal peacemakers, as their wise violent ways may frequently instill respectful fear in most humans and deter them from committing war-like acts. A Phybix may also work with autistic children and other children with disabilites, except when they shouldn't. This is somewhat of a general rule, as Phybii can and will exhibit very different personality structures according to rank and ability.

One should never attempt to marry a Phybix, as that will often result in subconscious marital squabbles that are quite taxing on the mind. This is more common with male Phybii than females; this is apparently due to some sugar-coated synapses within female Phybix brains that are capable of firing insults and information over long distances to a partner's brain. This is why Phybii are virtually undefeatable in chess and other games of strategy.

Phybix wings are a popular staple in Splinoan culture, but recent decreases in Phybix fertility levels have led to bans placed on Phybix hunting in the subterranean regions of Splinoa.
