Quatrain of Mostly Right

Mostly Right - being right is hard

You have been told, most of your
life, how wise you are
on a good many
matters,

Occasionally you are dead wrong,
and when it is pointed
out, you appear in
tatters.

Being foolish is not what you wish
to hear, after all you
are right on many
subjects,

Even a smart man can get it wrong,
there is a world out there
that even for you is too
complex.
