Don'T Ask

They teach, "Curiosity killed the cat" Is there a good explanation for that? In school don't ask questions Don't dare make suggestions Live your life just as blind as a bat.

Ah, a cerebral limerick nicely done, Gershon. Love the nocturnal creature rhyme of "cat" and "bat." Perfect poetic linguistic gymnastic saddle horse stick landing. Love and smiles always.

The third sentence of your comment -- Perfect poetic ... stick landing -- is worth its weight in gold, my friend! Always wanted to stick a landing, but never thought I'd do it in a limerick!! Thanks to you, another miracle (or maybe just an impossibility) achieved! Peace and joy, gw

I'd laugh but I worked in the government too long to think there is an fraction of an ounce of humor in this one. Just stating facts, right, Gershon?

--Right. Of course, the unasked question here is: Who's pulling whose leg? (LOL?!!?)
