A poem wherein I remind myself what my writing is all about, and how it feeds my soul and informs my worldview.
"Man In Festo" is a play on the word "manifesto". This poem lays out my goals and what I want to achieve with my writing (the manifesto, if you will), as well as my personal involvement and investment in the message I am trying to impart; hence, I (the man) am in the (mani)festo.

Stupid Callous Selfish Greedy Ignorant Piece of Shit (Mary Poppins Never Said That...), 2024
A parody of Supercalafragalisticexpialadocious about the frustration of trying to reason with someone who will not be reasoned with, or is unwilling to budge their worldview for any reason. But sing it as a cheerful song :^)
