• Curiosity killed the Cat, or so the story goes
    Told many times, it’s become famous prose
    Yet sometimes I wonder, it is a bit strange
    Was there something missing from this exchange?

    Taken simply at face value, no one did say
    “Who was the hunter and who was the prey?”
    It was simply in this the answer did lie
    That Curiosity was the one who was meant to die

    Nor was the Cat guilty, though no one had guessed
    That the villain was someone they’d never suggest
    Hidden in the shadows, neither here nor there
    The villain was Ignorance, of whom all were unaware

    Still to this day no one has ever really known
    If the one who had done it did ever atone
    Though I can certainly tell you, though evidence may lack
    That by the Satisfaction of Curiosity was the Cat brought back!
