Sense Sonnet - Acher

Unretired

After years of being retired,
I'm once again in the work force.
I feel lucky that I got hired,
And I'll do a good job, of course.
At first I thought it was a joke,
That my savings nest egg was gone.
Who was this Bernie Madoff bloke?
How could his swindle have gone on?
I have a lot of company,
Even some rich are less so now.
So, oh well, what will be will be.
I'll get through all of this somehow.

Since I'm 90, I've got no time
To fret on Madoff and his crime.
