Mouth on Foot for Foot in Mouth or Tongue in Cheek for Cheeky Tongue?
I know I think I know what I'm thinking without knowing...·
A prize by some Brits was announced
for Rumsfeld for "foot in the mouth"
for claiming unknowns
are known and unknown--
I paraphrase words he did spout:
We know there are things that we know
and know things we know we don't know
but know that we've found
the unknown abounds
in things we don't know we don't know.
His meaning they claim not to know
so therefore to them I bestow
the title of Dummy,
who unlike the Rummy
don't know they know less than they know.
In giving the prize for the Mouthful of Foot,
if he who judged syntax that Rummy forsook
had not done his deed
with tongue-in-the-cheek,
he'd owe Donald Rumsfeld a mouth on the foot.·
