1. Oh, I liked this one best!

Happenings
You're going to be told lots of things.
You get told things every day that don't happen.

It doesn't seem to bother people, they don't—
It's printed in the press.
The world thinks all these things happen.
They never happened.

Everyone's so eager to get the story
Before in fact the story's there
That the world is constantly being fed
Things that haven't happened.

All I can tell you is,
It hasn't happened.
It's going to happen.

It ended up happening to his ass too, didn't it? I hope a lot more stuff "happens" to him, myself. Since "its going to happen" anyway.
:P

2. I kind of liked this one

The Unknown
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.

It showed his wonderful ability to play with words...

His ability to say nothing without using those long words that the americun peeple just cain't understood...
