All This, and Poetry, Too

Slate.com ran its latest installment of "The Poetry of Donald Rumsfeld" on Monday. Some choice excerpts:

On NATO
You may think it's something
I ought to know,
But I happen not to.
That's life.
(July 9, 2003)

On Criticism
It makes it complicated.
Sometimes, it makes
It difficult.
That's life.
(Sept. 11, 2003)

(Check out part one as well, which has more of a free verse thing going on.)

Did I know that Rumsfeld was such a literary talent? You betcha.
Louise Glück, eat your heart out.
