IISZ 2018 Challenge #3 - Utterly Mistaken

[rayheinrich]

Jaded


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.

You had me at "false lyrics", then that last line...
