'National treasure'! Mark Knoller flexes creative muscles, takes poetic shot at WH

We couldn’t agree more.

Earlier today, Michelle Obama hosted a White House event for the newest group of National Student Poets. And, well, that inspired CBS News’ Mark Knoller to explore his artistic side.

What resulted was a masterpiece:

In spirit of WH poetry event:
Hoping Dems win in November
And keep their heads unbowed
POTUS does 47th fundraiser
Again, no press allowed.

@markknoller Not bad; pretty good, actually, you might have a career in poetry if this journalism thing doesn't work out.

He should definitely keep his options open.
