Tribute to a newly minted VP

VP, I know you miss the pit, and I know you miss your wife
But you just got promoted, so it’s time to level up in life
I can see you’re tired, even when you shell, even when you smile
I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you wanna die
Cause you're scared, deal are scarce, bakeoffs giving you nightmares
“No more tears” Biden cheers, “record market strength this year!”
Yeah you gon’ get this process movin’, you reviewin’, yeah you chewin’
VP your MD is needy, ain’t he? Yeah but he appreciates you and you better know it
Now hush, little VP, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Fasten up that Patagonia, little VP, I told ya
Comps will be pulled by tonight
I know rates are still rising right now, and we don’t know why
We fear back office life
It may seem a little cheesy, little VP
But I promise, bonuses gon' be alright
