The dictionary definition of opossum begins with a sine curve--
"American marsupial, principally nocturnal, chiefly arboreal,
Feigns death upon surprise."
The Fibonacci hypothesis--a number theory concept
Where each two consecutive numbers sum to the next number--
What one notices about the series is balance
Between the two addends on the one hand and the sum on the other,
Therefore--no momentum can be created. This in the face of gravity becomes
A downward spiral
But for--the energy of the sun, as in the case of sunflowers, whose seeds
Are arrayed in spirals based on the 1,1,2,3,5,8,13, 21. . . Fibonacci series

Therefore, the well-balanced sunflower is healthy and, more likely than not,
Jewish or Chinese.
Which in practical terms means that Foolishness is the consistency of small
hobgoblins.
