The Night Before Christmas 2022
‘Twas the night before Christmas,And all through the community,Not a resident was stirring,As they took all their meds early.The offerings were hung by the chimney with care,In hopes that a PE firm or REIT would still dare,The lenders were nestled all snug in their bed,With visions of term sheets that would not leave them for dead,And Cindy Baier in her kerchief and I with my pen,Had just settled down to discuss, but when?When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,She sprang from the board room to see what was the matter,Away to the window we flew like a flash,And tore open the shutters to see who brought the cash.The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,Gave a lustre of...
