This poem was forwarded to me so I felt I had to share it with all my RESPA friends. Unknown author.


T’was the week before Christmas
When all through the lands,
LO’s and Closers were wringing their hands.
RESPA Changes are coming,
They all started to worry,
We’d better get trained, and trained in a hurry!

We all kept on hoping
There would be a delay.
But HUD said, “No Way,” it’s all here to stay.
“We love our new HUD
And our new GFE,
Don’t fret, don’t worry, it’s as simple as can be.”

We all shook our heads,
Threw our hands to the sky.
What were you smoking? You must have been high!
You took a one page doc
And changed it to three.
Easier? More simple? How can that be?

The Regs don’t match up,
So now what do we do?
HUD says, “No comment, It’s all up to you.”
No info on TILA,
HMDA, REG B.
We are totally screwed, why can’t they see??

In a time when some borrowers
Think lenders are scary,
You’ve given 3 pages to make them more wary.
This doesn’t make sense,
No, not one little bit.

We are all trying hard to not throw a big fit.
So we all do our best
To put borrowers at ease.
But make more reform, please, please, please!

Please bring someone in
Who knows what to do.
What is best for both borrowers AND lenders too.

We are all still waiting,
Though not holding our breath
And hoping the government doesn’t “Reg” us to death.

So on this week before Christmas,
I’d like to wish you
Good luck with RESPA, I need it too!

My heart went pitty pat today when I saw the ABA notice that credit score disclosures were to start 1-1-10. But it is 1-1-11. I though holy ^@^* that ill be a holiday miracle.
