WRITING OBSTACLE

Submitted by Frankie Famighetti

Create an origin story for a common saying, such as 'break the ice' or 'once in a blue moon'.

Your story should explain how this expression came to be, and why it means what it does.

Curiosity killed the cat

I don’t understand

How curiosity came to be

Though that may just be me

Other have an overwhelming yearning

To be free


Why do people explore?

Haven’t they learned its unsafe?

Have people not learned to stay inside,

Not to waste away,

But to live to see another day!


Curiosity leads to nothing but devestation

Routine and structure

Science and perfection

Give us performance and outcomes

That we can tune to our very desire


I am not saying

To not have adventures

To not enjoy the world


I am saying to be cautious

I am saying to be careful

To learn to see the faults


The cat seeks out the mouse

The mouse has deadly fangs

Curiosity killed the cat


People search for love

In those unobtainable

Leading to mental curroption

Curiosity kills romance


Curiosity kills the uncausious

Curiosity spares the prepared

For why would you die

When you know all that is there
