Sense Sonnet - Acher

Learn from Bernie

Business lessons could be learned
From Bernie Madoff, who had goals -
Big ones in billions from those burned -
Customers raked over the coals.
But for years Bernie made them feel
He was going that extra mile.
Satisfaction was a big deal,
As Bernie gave them his big smile.
Bernie worked hard to cook the books,
Living in penthouse luxury,
Keeping eyes from too close of looks,
Caught when turned in by family.

Lessons can be learned whether taught
By saint or sinner - that's life's lot.
