Assumptions

Sometimes our assumptions Just turn out to be wrong; Yet afterwards, one often claims "I knew it all along." We may misjudge a person Or an awkward situation And when we learn the truth We may be filled with consternation. It's easier if we pretend Not knowing was to blame, For if we knew and didn't act, We'd hang our heads in shame. Much better then to question For, from answers we may learn, We'd take a course of action Which we'd hope for in return.
