Claude Fable passed with flying colours 👌 I particularly appreciated the note at the end.\n\n**The Daseiniad (Director’s Cut)**\n\nSing, Muse, of that Freiburg professor\n\nWhose prose made each sentence a guessor!\n\n“The Nothing, it noths!”\n\nHe declared to the moths\n\nIn his hut (no electric—much lesser).\n\nLo! Dasein woke up, mighty thrower,\n\nFound out it was thrown—what a downer!\n\n“I’m Being-toward-death?!\n\nWho approved this?” Its breath\n\nGrew ragged. It ordered a Stoner.*\n\nThe hammer broke! Heavens defend us!\n\nNow present-at-hand—how tremendous!\n\nFor Being revealed\n\nIs by toolbreak unsealed…\n\n(Or just call a guy. They can mend us.)\n\nO reader who’s made it this far,\n\nSein und Zeit sits unread on your bar!\n\nEight hundred-odd pages\n\nOf “Being” in stages—\n\nThe unread book IS who you are.\n\n*Beer.
