I think there’s brilliance in this piece being a poetry. I think it’s genius to force the listener to look up some words, thus forcing the reader to read it several times; you couldn’t do that with a long piece. Lastly, you end with humility, which is another only-way to pull this off.

It’s short, it’s high-brow without being high-brow, and it’s fun in its poetry goodness. It’s brilliant.
