The spin doctor says.
It means I don't know,
But I don't want you
to know I don't know.

That's good question
buys me enough time
for a long wordy
sentence or so

that begs the question
and leaves it unanswered,
but won't let you know

I got it... It took me a while but I got it. You're a deep and twisted thinker...lol (that's not an insult, I promise...) This is more like a brain teaser. A very clever poetic brain teaser.

Very well written. I like how you went into the mind of the politician. It was extremely creative.
