Satirical Verse

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

"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

Republican 2012 Hopeful
Haikus

Palin is tanking
Her poll numbers are falling
Poor kid - peaked too soon

Pawlenty's support
At present seems limited
To Tim Pawlenty

A Bush trifecta
George I, George II, and now Jeb
Enough already

Father and son Paul
Maybe both on the ticket
President and Veep

You seek at the helm
Lobbying experience
Barbour's your harbor

Huckabee, Bachmann
Chris Christie, Rick Santorum,
All tea and quackers

Though he's very smart
Newt speaks far too much and ends
With both feet in mouth

Harken to Romney
Pay close attention and hear
The sound of silence
