IISZ 2018 Challenge #3 - Utterly Mistaken

[vagabond]

my wish for this task be forsaken!
to write about how i´m mistaken...
the choices, sure, vast,
but asleep in the past
and now i should have that awaken?

We've all done it
sang rock songs to false lyrics,
called someone by the wrong name,
judged without all the facts,
mispronounced words;

but I want to sink my head
like an ostrich

remembering how sophisticated
and intelligent I sounded when I told him
a buried egg
left in the dirt for a century

is a delicatessen in China.

don´t worry i thought they were a thousand years old once. seems to not make a difference concerning the question whether i´d eat them.

and thanks for a laugh, the topic reminded me of a scene from that movie "welcome to the ch´tis"

"this cheese tastes much better than it smells -  now eat"
...
*bites off a bit and chews*
" it tastes exactly as it smells!!"
