Pieces of intelligence - the existential poetry of Donald H. Rumsfeld

The author takes excerpts from Rummy's speeches and rearranges them with the cadence of existential poetry. For example:

As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don't know
We don't know.

Wish I had thought of this! This is going on my Christmas wish list!!

The funny thing is a couple of freeper reviewers who actually thought this was serious poetry written by Rummy...
