In this collection of poems, Todd Federman reviews the current financial meltdown in rhyme. Topics range from the Subprime crisis to 401Ks to the Madoff Ponzi scheme. His funny, often irreverent poetry pokes fun at the leaders of Wall Street and Washington. His poetry was featured on page one of The Wall Street Journal: Among those moved by the financial carnage was Todd Federman, a 25-year veteran of Wall Street. In the wee hours at home in N.J., Mr. Federman crafted Subprime, ... It begins: No money down, two years interest free, / Buying a house was no problem you see. / And so the young man along with his spouse, / They could not afford, but yet bought the house. Mr. Federman, followed Subprime with his year-end revue, The La$t Word at Christmas, which laments the recent market losses: Stocks, commodities and private equity too, / It seems every sector has stepped in the poo.
