'Tis the season to sing along. Today, this blog gives you a viral song to hum as you go hither and yon on your merry, merry way. As we've chanted in the past, Marcy Shaffer is a national treasure. Her parodies are priceless and spot-on. She writes VERSUS parodies thanks to her professional writing experience that includes television, film, lyrics, verse and… musical parody. VERSUS is co-produced by Russ Meyer, a private equity veteran whose industry expertise includes financial services as well as entertainment. Shaffer is an attorney-cum-parodist (Roll over, Stephan Pastis!) and her partner, Russ Meyer, received his MBA from Stanford University. If this is (fair & balanced) awkward versing, so be it.

Oh, CRE (Commercial Real Estate)
To "O Christmas Tree (O, Tannenbaum)" — Traditional
Parody Lyrics By Marcy Shaffer
OH, CRE.*
OH, CRE.*
TO WHAT DEGREE
ARE YOU DEBRIS?
FOR SOPHISTRY IN OFFICE-STRY.
YOUR PROPERTY COULD DROP-ERTY.
YOU USED TO EARN ON CRUISE CONTROL.
NOW YOU MUST TURN ON BRUISE CONTROL.
OH, CRE.
OH, CRE.
UNEASY THE RECOVERY.
OH, FDIC.**
OH, FDIC.**
WHY AMNESTY IN BANK EXAM-NESTY?
YOUR LENDING SPREE UNENDINGLY
PRETENDING WE ARE MENDING-LY.
YOU CAN'T TWEAK A NEW PEAK OUT OF RUBBLE.
YOU CAN FREAK THIS STREAK MIGHT W.
OH, FDIC.
OH, FDIC.
YOUR CUSTODY A BUST-ODY.
OH, TEETERING REIT.***
OH, TEETERING REIT.***
ONCE SUCH CONCEIT, NOW MINCE-CE-MEAT.
WHENE'ER SQUARE FEET YOU DARE EXCRETE?
DEADBEAT-MENT TREATMENT BY THE STREET.
YOU USED TO BRING THE RING OF BLING.
BUT NOW YOUR THING DOES NOT KA-CHING.
OH, TEETERING REIT.
OH, TEETERING REIT.
HOW BITTERSWEET YOUR TWITTER TWEET.
OH, CRE.
OH, CRE.
TO WHAT DEGREE
ARE YOU DEBRIS?
WITH RETAIL THROWING IN THE KEY.
A DETAIL SHOWING WHAT MAY BE.
YOU USED TO EARN ON CRUISE CONTROL.
NOW IT'S YOUR TURN ON LOSE CONTROL.
OH, CRE.
OH, CRE.
THE TNT IN GDP.
THE TNT
IS
CRE.
*CRE = Commercial Real Estate
**FDIC = Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
***REIT = Real Estate Investment Trust Ω
