It probably isn’t really best to,
Have someone like me write a manifesto,
And I actually think it is good to mention,
That such a writing challenge be brought to question.
Perhaps a ruse to have me taken away?
Who is this Ben Huberman anyway??
Maybe a member of the the Illuminati,
Who thinks my distaste of bacon qualifies me for the Communist Party.
But a thought so irresistible,
Makes me wonder if it should be permissible,
For could the whole world be waiting to see,
A version of life according to me?
And so I look deeply within,
But now can only wonder where to begin.
A blank canvas on which to paint a portrait,
That starts out with a sea of chocolate,
Flying cars and boatloads of riches,
An elimination of pet peeves and bitches.
Providing a foundation of a world that will be,
Filled with spa days and shopping sprees,
Eventually achieving the ultimate goal,
Sex and drugs and rock n’ roll,
Ruling the world as it was meant,
With Ozzy Osbourne for president.
But then I see that something’s wrong,
My manifesto’s been written all along,
180 pages of unabashed truth,
Called ‘Glorious Results of a Misspent Youth’.

Good one, although I am surprised you didn’t rhyme manifesto with pesto. You know in Frank Sinatra’s day, sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll was called wine, women and song.
I now will write a manifesto
After I eat my pasta with pesto!
LOL.
Wow, you know, you just continually amaze with stuff like this…..there is no subject you cannot conquer! Ozzy for President a bit worrisome, but I guess I wouldn’t mind him being your Secretary of State….
Yes, well I believe there was somewhat of a campaign in the mid 80s…wonder what ever happened with that…
Ozzy as prez sounds like the country would be in constant party mode. Love it!
Thanks. In the mid 80s I had a pin that said Ozzy for President. I always thought it would be a great idea!
In all seriousness that’s the great thing about blogs, right? Somehow, without realizing it you’re created some sort of something. I guess it is a manifesto of sorts 🙂 Ozzy for President, ha 🙂
Yes, as I started piecing together ideas, I realized that it was all stuff I had said in my blog over the past year or so.
Brilliantly well done! I’d live in that world if it existed. When I saw the title I thought it was about me. Then again, I think everything is about me.
Considering the behavior you display at airports, could very well be about you. I’ll take it!
I see you do ‘rap’ as well – very clever stuff young Marissa!
Thanks Mike!
Any time – I really liked this and it read as if it was indeed a sublime rap.
That was a lot of fun! Not to mention what an honor it is to be part of the verse that prepares the illuminati / Communist Party rhyme. My job here is done.
And an honor to receive your comment! Thanks Ben!
Some things just need set to music.
Please.
Oh boy… a music vlog request…for you, anything. The wheels are in motion…
Awwwwwww! YAY! I’m very excited! 🙂
Marissa, you truly are a master with words. LOVED this. Ah, yes, sex, drugs, and rock and roll. LOL Beautifully written …. I really LOVE the way you write!!! (((HUGS))) Amy
Thanks Amy!
You are SO welcome. You honestly amaze me how you write. I don’t know if you know Margaret Rose Stringer, but she is another one who I am in awe of. The power of the word. You got it, Luv! (((HUGS))) Amy
I must check her out. Thanks so much!
She is fabulous, Marissa. She has a book as well, that I read, and I honestly could not put it down. She is a character and then some!!! And yes, I really Love her!!! xx
I’m at work now and actually tried to google her when my boss came in!! Anyway, I’m definitely interested in checking out her work. Thanks for the recommendation!
You are very welcome. I believe you will really get a kick out of her. She is exceptional and she is unique. Shhh…..I don’t want to get you in trouble …. no need to reply …… xx

Ah, yes, an outstanding manifesto, one to which I can relate strongly!
Well you are my soul sistah…
Ahh, As I read this, I thought, “Ben Huberman better Freshly Press this! At the very least he better at least leave a comment. He did the one and now I await him to do the other. TERIFFIC!
Probably a little late now. Freshly Pressed would certainly be an honor but getting positive feedback from THEEE Little Miss Menopause runs a very close second.
