Curiosity Killed the Cat

The cat in a hat Looked longingly at the mat Never to mew with a mate Regrets were too late. All it took was an excuse in necessity Yet it was all because of curiosity Once stranded in the city Lamented the mendacity He remembered the whispers, The wistful tones, Of joys untold, out there in the city Paved with milk and honey. Oh, naïve cat, Oh guileless cat, So out of your depth, Frustrated and miserable, Time is up. The adage holds true, Yet you couldn’t tell from that clue curiosity does kill cats!
