Nothing Anyway

Not that we might not
Have ever known if
Our leaders had not
Noted their official
Capacity for not telling
And said nothing anyway,
Then in the jargon of non-
Truth tellers, liars bestsaid,
Notwithstanding, and had they
Said something worth hearing,
Then no one  would have understood
What it was they did not say.
