The Egocentric Agenda is a solemn poetic form intended to describe someone recently retired, originating in The Infamy of Weaklings. The rules of the form are applied by poets to produce individual poems which can be recited. The poem is two fifteen-line stanzas. Use of alliteration and simile is characteristic of the form. A form of parallelism is common throughout the poem, in that certain lines reverse grammatical structures. Each line has four feet with a syllable weight pattern of short-short-long (quantitative anapaestic tetrameter).
