[Newspoetry] Ari not ruling anything in or out

[Joe Futrelle]

"On the question of whether there's any terrorism, as I indicated at
the beginning, first information is always subject to change. We have
not ruled anything in, not ruled anything out.  But as I mentioned,
the investigation is being headed by the National Transportation
Safety Board to try to determine the cause of it."
-- Ari Fleischer, White House Press Briefing, 12 November 2001

There once was a spokesman named Ari,
whose informativeness was a sorry
 excuse for a joke, he
 just played hokey-pokey
ruling in, ruling out, pro tempore
