curiosity killed the cat
an inquisitive limerick
the boy and his companion peered into a stony arteriole
“can we hide there, in this cubbyhole?”
he asked, and the next minute, no kidding
he was in the middle of the vortex, swimming
the dog followed, lest to avoid condole

>That was a bad idea. I thought you knew… >Oh, the pathos! I don’t really know you as well as I should. In fact, I may not know the real you at all. That essential, sparkling you that you only reveal to a select few. Had I been paying more attention to the stories you are so fond of telling, in which you are invariably author, narrator and protagonist, I would not have been so foolish as to set you up on a blind date. After all, no friend has ever done anything of the kind for another. That’s preposterous. What is a friend, really?
