Curiosity – a case for inspired thinking

the force that drives discovery

Curiosity it is said, is what killed the cat

But curiosity goes further and looks at this and that.

The good thing about it is it seems to have no end

No telling what may be hidden, just around the bend.

A cat’s, whiskers informs it quickly, also just how wide,

 any space will need to be before it goes inside.

Cats are curious by nature as they patrol a house

Certain to discover that all elusive mouse.

Curiosity is not a passing whim, like, can you tell me what’s the time?

It’s more a driving force that goes deeper than a mine.

On a more serious note, if curious you’ll find

That your curiosity is inspired by thoughts of every kind.

The conclusions that you reach when exploring what could be

May often help to guide you as you build a strategy.

So, stay curious and be just like that cat.

 Make it your second nature on which to hang your hat.

When damage is already done

There’s many a slip

‘Twixt a cup and your two lips

No tears for spilled milk

Airplane crashed, lost friends.
