Curiosity could kill a cat,
but for me its done near all but that.
Scrapes and scars never fully show,
the world as it were,
without rules in tow.
A grand ol' place is to be seen,
with wide eyes glazed over with inquisitive sheen.
You can corner a king with a well placed rook,
but a mother must remember with her fiery look,
that one could never, ever tame this curious Took!
Take a look around the corner,
look under rock and stone,
and ponder for a moment if curiosity –
could really, truly kill a cat!
Hmm, perhaps,
as a matter a-fact,
mother, I must confess,
that – yes, yes – perhaps it could!
