J.P.G. Poems
Curiosity©
By Joseph P. Gimenez
2010 for the Red Hook Series
Curiosity killed the cat they
say!
But aren’t you a bit curious why
it’s life ended that way?
People are born curious, which
we all know.
They ask all sorts of questions
about things as they grow.
We need curious people like the
cat in our lives,
Just like single men all need
wives.
They are a curious lot these men
I mean!
But it takes a wife for their
curiosity to be seen.
Now the poor ole cat as curious
as he can be,
Can’t find something and just
let it be.
They must touch and play with
this new found thing,
It doesn’t really know what
curiosity might bring!
But who cares, says the cat,
nine lives have I !!
My curiosity whelms inside me as
high as the sky.
I want to know each and every
thing that I don’t,
Ask me to stop but you know that
I won’t.
Just like with the cat curiosity
wins the fight,
Even through we sometimes resist
it with all our might.
Curiosity is just a part of
human nature I’m told,
Luckily it doesn’t stop us men
from growing old.
So in 2011, like the cat, how
curious will you be?
Will you take a wife so
curiosity you may see?
For we know men won’t rest until
they solve ever thing!
It’s a page in the book of your
life that curiosity will bring!!!
