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
Dr Johnson I presume
May I enquire why Sir

Oh or am I missing the point is this
indeed in fact the Machiavelli
Political and Power special edition
They use to put your hand on for
swearing in ceremonies
The truth and nothing but the truth
So help me God
I do not now you well,
I would like to be your friend
I will not make assumptions
Until our friendship ends.
Presume Another Period
Republicans and period of time provoking
Jumping Jehoshaphat you gotta be joking
Always know when a woman will have one
Trump is glad when she is over and done.
Erogenous Trump is being energetic
Thinking women will only be copacetic
To him what about women is the best
His has been hard while hers is to digest.
No matter what Trump does or which way
There will be a period of total dismay
Though his hair is known to be receding
Would rather do that then to be bleeding.
After delinquent date we were to compile
Trump did go through a period of denial
With you, another thing we should share
Look at his little hands with lovely hair.
James Thesarious Hilarious Horn
Retired Veteran and Pathetic Poet
A man’s lack of worth, because of dismal origin,
We should never presume
For
Out of, the unappealing thorny body of a cactus,
The prettiest flowers bloom!

You presume it seems
you know me
Yet your words and actions show me
you seek not
below the surface of my pond
There beyond
your own reflection
where you view me through your perception
and it shows
L.ruby Meyer
