He's business savvy, she's making deals, they're on the go-who has time to wonder what the heck Emily Dickinson or Lord Byron meant in their eloquent 19th-century poetry? This hilarious collection, compiled by the self-proclaimed "Poet Laureate of Wall Street," contains classic works of literature translated into user-friendly and market-savvy verse. ("Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day?" becomes "Shall I Declare Thee to the IRS?" and "A Passionate Shepherd to His Love" becomes "A Passionate Broker to His Client.") A perfect gift for anyone interested in today's economy, Songs of Wall Street is guaranteed to leave business types in stitches! Michael Silverstein has written for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Bloomberg magazine. He has also made several appearances on National Public Radio.
