I am the manifesto a modern murder Mangione
At word count 2-6-2 I might look short and flimsy on my own
I know the Unibomber, and that guy was manifesto-full
I hope my shorter ranting will be so much more digestible

I’m not good enough with words to play, but this is taking me back to my Uni High (Urbana) days when we had a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta every spring

I guess those college writing classes are much stricter than I remember.

Maybe if he'd written it out in iambic pentameter he'd have inspired a revolution.

I'm certain that my hatred for the CEOs has mass appeal
It gives me needed comfort while I sit and scoff my Happy Meal
My modus operandi might fill certain folks with vexitude
But they'll not be too bothered once they find out I'm a sexy dude

*bows down in awe*

I can only chime in with the chorus of young lady wards and sing, "But we'll not be too bothered now we know that he's a sexy, sexy duuude!"

But we'll not be too bothered now we know that he's a sexy dude

But We'll Not Be Too Bothered Now We Know That He's a Sexy Dude

BUT WE'LL NOT BE TOO BOTHERED NOW WE KNOW THAT HE'S A SEXY DUDE

BUT WE'LL NOT BE TOO BOTHERED NOW WE KNOW THAT HE'S A SEXY SEXY DUUUUUUUDDE

OMG this is taking me right back to my community theater days, when I was an alto among General Stanley's "daughters". I think I still remember every word and note of Pirates.

Yes!
(Other verses welcome, so long as they adhere to the rhythm as this one does)

Do we have to make the "vramp vramp vramp" arms as we modern-major-general our way into this hilarious set of poems?

nicholasgrossman.bsky.social•79 days ago

Technically not required, but no one will stop you if you do

I don't think Mangione and own rhyme

The way Gilbert and Sullivan wrote they do

a propos: Topsy-Turvy is an obscure masterpiece. G&S biopic by the great Mike Leigh

Jim Broadbent at his broadbentiest. I haven't seen it in years, but remember liking it.

I have a beef with U.S. health care, why do they deny our claims?
I made a list of malefactors, bullet points went by their names.
And even if you think that all my actions are deplorable,
Just look at my old photos and you'll see that I'm adorable.
