Alice In Wunderkinderland With a Hedgehog

By Douglas Gilbert

This is the greatest Epic Poem on derivatives ever written since the repeal of the Glass-Steagill Act. Financial critics who have played Croquet with the Hedgehogs have given tacit-ephemeral, imaginary praise to this magnificent romp-verse. Alice says strat-tea-tackfully, every poem must have a pie thrown at it to lend it color and flavor. The Mad Hatter and Archemedes explain The Great Recession with the aid of a flamenco dance and an un-birthday party.
