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!!!
