CURIOSITY

 Quadrille  #129, and our word to consider is CURIOUS or a form thereof.  Everyone who knows me knows I suffer from terminal curiosity.  Submitted to dVerse May 31, 2021

*******************

What makes boats float?

Why do airplanes fly?

No one is more anxious to know

Who What Where When and Why  


What makes the bumblebees buzz?

Why do lightning bugs light?

I’m curious, and I must discover     

Why do bats only fly at night?

  7. I love the sense of childish wonder in these questions. It is good to stay curious because the world is full of wonders and sometimes we fail to notice this as adults!

  8. Ah yes, would curiosity still exist if we were not able to ask questions?
