Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Assume and Presume

We impute to the animal kingdom
    human thoughts and emotions
  My kitty licks herself, so I assume
    she's a cleanliness bug

  Yet when a big kitty, like a tiger
    is eyeing me to eat
  I presume that she's starving
    when I'm just a real taste treat
