Curiosity Killed The Cat

To me really it’s a nonsensical phrase,
“Curiosity killed the cat”,
It’s wrong and restricting in so many ways,
And boring and useless at that.

There’s a thrilling adventurous world out there,
If you just step outside of your door,
There’s miles and miles of breathtaking lands,
Waiting for you to explore.

Don’t sit there afraid of the worry and woe,
Letting all opportunities pass,
You’ll gain nothing, learn nothing, live nothing at all,
If you watch life from behind a glass.

You’ll learn so many secrets and mysteries too,
Don’t let them tell you that you shouldn’t do it,
There’s an endless amount of knowledge in our grasp,
For anyone brave enough to pursue it.

So never look down on the curious cat,
Here is the reason I won’t,
That cat took a risk, to learn something new,
And that cat knows something that you don’t.
