Because Curiosity
suffered at the hands of those who already know,
the cat had to sacrifice too many of its lives.
(Though if the truth be known, it had far more
than nine). It hired
the dog, to aid in its defense,
the ferret to forage in underground
tunnels designed for ease of eavesdropping. The five
years for transmission of
gossip without
intent to mock, it spent studying bootleg tabloids,
learned how to turn a buck legally, emerged
with a new mission, and a license to stick its whiskers
in everyone’s business that quickly became its life’s
mantra:
Enquiring minds want
to know. . .
