Poem 172 - Curiosity kills the cat!

As I was driving through the empty lanes of the village

I observed a danger-sign post there, I saw nothing, I was curious to know what was there

I just drove on that lane, and my car got stuck in a quagmire

I managed to jump out, my heart beating fast, I called for help, and now I could just stare

With nobody else to blame, I hung my head in shame

As a truck pulled my car out of the quagmire

I looked at my dirty car, then around me, sunflowers were bobbing and laughing

The truck driver looked at me, for the car was not something you could admire

If I had followed the sign, then by tomorrow I would have reached my hometown

But now it was my fault and I couldn't do anything

I sat on a rock, I saw some sand, half eroded by wind

Or wait a minute is it another quagmire, I am not curious to see that thing
