‘Twas the night before NIC…
‘Twas the night before NIC
And all through the building
Not a broker was stirring.
Not even brothers Hilding
Multifamily developers had forgotten to take their meds
While visions of loose money danced in their heads
And KBG in her kerchief, and Lerner in his cap
Had just settled down for one last look at NIC Map
When down in the bar, there arose such a clatter
Arnie Whitman sprang into action to see what was the matter
Michael and John had just stepped into the ring
To see which one had the best swing
The swoon of the WASH members was too much to bear
As everyone lost interest and headed for the stair
When, what to a wondering eye should appear
But a towering REIT which DeRosa was trying to steer
With revised leases, sales agreements and new promise
They knew in a moment it must be St. Thomas
With Mercedes and Shankh by his side,
He whistled and shouted, and told them all to abide
Now Brenda, now Loren, now Bob and Bill
On Cindy, on Chris, on Andy and Will
No more SNFs, they are health systems, you will see
Dash away, dash away, dash away Mackey
As census started to rise, and managed care rates stabilized
Investors soon returned, knowing how to capitalize
So on to the future, no matter what it does bring
Halleluiah it will be, that Rick Matros will sing
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
