Drowned in Misquotes!

To learn more, I wanted, of vegetarian
Food, free of all animal fat
So I walked, and walked
Drifting into town’s veterinarian
Ground, only to be drowned
In a flood of misquote after misquote
Pulled out of context
As if pulling parasitic tick
From the village shepherd’s sheep dog
These ticks detected, dissected, and distorted
Dressed, however, now with roaring laughter
And then was served
On ominous crusade platter
As food from heavenly abode
That tasted much venomous to my tongue
