Merry Christmas and Thank You!!

One and a half years ago – Six of us made the move

Moving to Merrill from Goldman – We felt our lives would improve

To people looking on – It was a scary thing to do

But, I’m personally happy – And I think you are to!!

We appreciate our loyal ladies – Though we took the very best

Three of the greatest assistants – That we needed to accomplish our quest

PT’s now registered – And what a dedicated, sweet soul

She even listened to the exploits – Of Nicole’s nightly stroll!!

Then Barbara came along – And replaced Nicole, by the way

She didn’t have spiked hair – And the other differences were night and day

An incredible team player – Who’s not worried about personal glories

We feel fortunate to have you – Though PT maybe misses the stories!!

LS has been with us the longest – And she loves a good drink

Be it scotch or Chardonnay – She’ll accept either with a wink

Now add a little story – And bawdy one’s are the best

It’s a moment to remember – And LS won’t protest!!

There’s a term used in wrestling – And Shooter is that name

The guy’s who are the toughest – And know how to play the game

LT is our Shooter – And you’ll never see her back down

And the people in New York – Know she’s here in town!!

LA is our newest Analyst – A proud A&M grad

You’ve got a great future – And the money won’t be bad

I’ll bet you were surprised – When you put the books away

The real world’s not in a text book – You’d agree, I’d venture to say!!

Reed is our Analyst – Whom we hired two minutes after we met

When you talk about good decisions – He was certainly a sure bet

We needed someone with gray hair – Though Reed’s wasn’t, to start

Twelve hour days are turning it – And he’s perfect for the part!!

And then we have Cole – Who drinks something called "Mega Man"

Though you’ll always be tall and thin – You’d like to look like Hulk Hogan

When Reed and LA hear you yell – They duck under their desk

Though I’m exaggerating a little – Sometimes the truth is picturesque!!

I can’t forget about Greg – He and I are quick to buy

Yes, we’re quick on the trigger – While others just sit and sigh

Just what does this company do – We’ll find out later

Right now we’ll just buy it – Hey! Greg’s a buyer, not a great debater!!

And then of course, there’s Bobby – A better boss you’ll never see

He took a chance on all of us – Maybe he saw the chemistry

For a guy that’s computer illiterate – Who won’t suck up to the brass

He weaves his way through the system – Keeping everyone happy, my fellow Coon-Ass!!

And what about David Fink – Well first, let’s get this straight

This rumor about my dating around – I’d really like to negate

It’s in the line of duty – I’m a facilitator, as you all know

With a concern for getting my back scratched – And giving this crutch a throw!!

So to each and every one of you – Thank you and may God bless

I hope you realize my appreciation – That I’ve lyrically tried to express

May your holiday be special – May all your dreams come true

And remember when it’s over – There’s plenty of work left to do!!
