Curiosity Kills

Jonah was rashly curious
And it became injurious:
Unannounced slap and hard kick
And it earned him wounds to lick...

A crude one on his tummy
And an adult yelled "Mummy!"
The song in his ears "leave now 
Or else you're a finished cow
Already, a bleeding brow
Some arrow to leave a bow 

He'd seen they were robbing Jim
With screwed up eyes  he'd made dim 
Appearance of cops not slim
Like Gangs cup filled to the brim
Nothing now but " Run for it! "
But one could see The Not Fi
