click montage to enlarge...This will really be my final Donald Rumsfeld poem. I thought A Broken Bone was the last, but Rummy came out with one more nugget before heading out. Yesterday, The Secretary rode off into the sunset, leaving behind a memo to his staff at the D.O.D.
For my part, I'll miss having him to kick around. And most of all I will miss his twisted locutions, loopy metaphors, and his facility with abstruse obfucation.
Good luck, Mr. Secretary! You may have sucked at your job, but you provided a rich and sustaining blast of entertainment for those of us who follow that sort of thing.

My Final Snowflake
by the former Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld
This is
My final
Snowflake.
Thousands
Have fallen,
Sometimes
In blizzards and flurries,
Sometimes in cold
And lonely isolation.
Surprising to those
Buried in the deluge,
Many people have never
Received a snowflake.
A few folks
Hoped to run
Out the clock
On outstanding
Snowflakes.
I grant
Amnesty for outstanding
Snowflakes.
The blizzard is over!
