Ultracrepidarian ... Irrelevant

Today's word is "ultracrepidarian" ... uhl-truh-krep-i-dair-ee-uh n ... noting or pertaining to a person who criticizes, judges, or gives advice outside the area of his or her expertise. (Dictionary.com)

Irrelevant
He read no books about it,
No pamphlets, articles or blogs,
Yet he spoke as quite the expert,
From his cloudy-minded fog.

He really didn't want to know,
The true facts of the case,
He might have to eat his golden words,
And be put in his place.

This ultracrepidarian,
Will, when truth takes its final stance,
Bow down with great humility,
As others feast and dance.
