Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Ponzi

The greedy are easy to fool,
No matter the time or the place.
The reverse of the golden rule -
Do unto others who do chase
The promise of riches galore.
1920's in Boston town,
My scheme was a revolving door.
The first put a few dollars down.
Those same funds as "profits" I paid
Right back to them, and the word spread,
That with me money could be made.
But thousands lost millions instead.

The Ponzi scheme - named after me.
I showed how easy it can be.
