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
