That's A Good Question

"That's a good question."
The spin doctor says.
It means, I don't know,
but I don't want
you to know, I don't know.

That's a good question
buys me enough time
for a long wordy
sentence or so
that begs the question
and leaves it unanswered,
but wont let you know
I don't know.

I should read this to my doctors it would give them a good understanding of my view when I was asking all the questions why my heart stopped in surgery....they gave me all these Hypothetical reasons but still could say why or if it would happen again
