I wasn't worried about Kipling poem being satirical (8)
I believe the answer is:
swiftian
'satirical' is the definition.
(reminiscent of Jonathan Swift, Irish satirist)
'i wasn't worried about kipling poem' is the wordplay.
'worried' indicates anagramming the letters (worry can mean to interfere with or disturb).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'kipling poem' becomes 'If' (poem by Rudyard Kipling).
'i'+'wasnt'='iwasnt'
'iwasnt' anagrammed gives 'swtian'.
'swtian' enclosing 'if' is 'SWIFTIAN'.
'being' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for swiftian that I've seen before include "ferociously satirical" , "How like an Irish writer" .)
