We will be sharing our favorite poem, Donald Rumsfeld's "The Glass Box." (Read it yourself, after the jump.)
Glass Box
You know, it's the old glass box at the--
At the gas station,
Where you're using those little things
Trying to pick up the prize,
And you can't find it.
It's--
And it's all these arms are going down in there,
And so you keep dropping it
And picking it up again and moving it,
But--
Some of you are probably too young to remember those--
Those glass boxes,
But--
But they used to have them
At all the gas stations
When I was a kid.
(c) Donald Rumsfeld, 1903
