The Slavin'

A while ago, when I was still a wee junior associate in New York, I was assigned to a particularly boring (yet time-sensitive) assignment. As I spent the better part of the early hours of the morning going through documents and preparing a summary that no one would probably ever read, I was inspired to describe my experience in verse. The next day, when I had a bit of free time, I came up with the poem below. I'm a bit of a hack, to be sure, but I thought it was appropriate given the earlier post about trainees.
