Assumptions he had far too many,
On which he verified none any,
And still lived— by them led,
That a fool of him made,
A strange power ‘assume' has uncanny.
For proof, look at its anatomy—
See letters therein laid,
Of three words is it made—
ASSUME makes an ASS of U and ME!

‘But I thought…' we often hear these words from many, defending acts of omission and commission based on mere assumptions. This ditty (in anapaest meter)warns.

Very interesting inscription that provides humor and fun. Beautiful poem is shared amazingly.10
Earlier, i was not so sure about humour on a website on poetry, but I'm wiser now. Poets do have a sense of humour as well.
