Satirical Verse
A Dyspeptic's Guide To Contemporary American Politics (In Verse)

Fifteen Feet Beneath Manhattan by Michael Silverstein

"Nowadays, you can't turn on the TV without some talking head telling you about the economy. Yet, in a world overrun by 'analysts,' only one man has the guts, the brains, and, quite frankly, the poetry to put it all in perspective.That man is Michael Silverstein... Silverstein is a true intellectual." — Gersh Kuntzman, The New York Post

"Few people have found much to laugh about in the stock market this year. Michael Silverstein is the exception. The Bard of the Bourse can find humor in losing money, globalization and stock options." — USA Today

About Silverstein's Verse

 

The Cluelessdoof Song

From the snow peaks of New Hampshire
To the Arizona sands
To the red states where the stars and bars flew free
9/11 mem-or-ies, that staved off all critic words
No longer cast their spell, oh woe is me.

Yes, that hollow jingo patter that so long silenced the rubes
And caused congressmen their minds and mouths to shut
Does not even me-di-a, from hard facts to turn away
Even Times reporting has turned real tough.

I am poor Georgie Bush and I’ve lost my way
Blah, blah, blah
Into Iraq I was led astray
Blah, blah, blah.

Faulty intel, I was forced to see
By Wolfie, and Cheney and even Condi
And now even Dems ain’t a’scared of me
Blah, blah, blah...
