Maybe there’s a message here
If so, what is it?
Curious George climbs, snoops,
And gets into everything he comes in contact with
Oops, he just stick his nose in a pot of glue
I can learn from this.
Is the Curious George show just a coincidence
When I turned on the TV?
Was this meant to be?
I was looking for the NYC Marathon
And you popped up
I wondered. is this a prompt for some poetry?
I am tempted and curious myself
What will happen next?
What’s your “big picture” message?
Be curious like me?
Everybody’s curious, I think
Perhaps to be more curious
I went to college and passed
I put my hand on the remote
To change the channel
“No. no, no Tom, don’t surf
Stay with me” Curious George begs
Look at him. adorable and charming
A furry little monkey
Oh my gosh, he’s opened a desk
In an elementary classroom looking at books
Wow, he is curious
So I decide to buy a scratch-off card
Because I’m curious to find out
What’s behind those little covered windows
So I scratch. YIKES I won! I won! A dollar
Being curious has paid off
Hey, this might be the big picture message
OK, Tom, get curious about
Something more important
Turn off the TV, get busy
Use my five senses
Start asking questions
I know I’ll find something
Let my curiosity grow.
Thanks Curious George
