Could Nick truly love the Fish and the Hack
Enough to put their asses back in the black?
Could he overlook the bad deeds and bad deals?
And keep them from K-mart and cold Happy Meals?

Did he have the love in his glove, in his finger?
Did he love that much? And would that love linger?
Could they still wear silk ties, could they still chow brie,
Still buy zany couches from Z Gallerie?

Chez Blish, Chez Blah, Chez Blasé, Chez Froufrou, too?
And yes, with Chez Blah, then Chez Blech would still do!
The Hack wept to think of their table at Bluch,
Could it be Santa could love them that much?
