Curiosity

This may be one of my favorite poems so far.  The idea that "curiosity killed the cat is...almost of good thing," I really liked.  "Face it. Curiosity will not cause us to die-- lack of it will." really showed this idea too.  If you're not curious and not really living life, then it's practically like you dead.   It's...if you don't live excitingly, are you even living at all.  Why not enjoy life and be curious?
Then he takes his analogy even farther as to compare cats and dogs, which I really loved.  It's just so true that dogs are very dependable, loyal, sweet but maybe even boring.  But I don't think it's necessarily so bad, ad Reid writes it as a bad thing.  I think some people can live dependable, boring lives and be really happy and truly live.  Not everyone needs to be or should be a cat.  (But the curious cat seems to be much more fun and fulfilling to me)
But still, the last few lines, great lines.


Oh and Mrs White, I forgot last week we had to post if it was our week off....But it was. :D

    I like this poem. Curiosity gets a bad rap.
