Without invitation,

but with the

full expectation

that hubris

just assumes,

she assumed

her critique

would be gratefully

received and believed

(the conclusion

being forgone)

because, after all,

she had once

studied at the

Sorbonne.

Well, she let her

opinions fly.

The recipient not

knowing why,

but irritated

as high as the sky,

said,

“Sorry, did you say

you have a sore bun?”

hoping this

surely soon

would pass,

really wanted to ask,

Can you

spell assume,

you royal pain

in the ass?
