Bernie Madoff was predestined to run off with something or someone. If the investors were paying more attention to the name they would realize that he was saying, 'please don't give me so much money, I can't be trusted!'

Bernie Made Off...
Bernie made off with so many investors' cash,
I guess he thought they wouldn't find his stash,
But his fate was written and sealed in the stars,
Long before they actually put him behind bars.

With a name like Madoff he was destined to flee
With another's wife, child, money or property.
Surely he knew he would eventually get caught?
Now with all his stolen loot, freedom can't be bought.

He didn't steal inside our houses like robbers do,
But with plastic smiles and honey coated lies he'd woo
Prospective victims into a sense of false security,
And when he gained their trust, move with alacrity.

Then 'ere you can say, "show me your dough, I'll show you mine!"
You're keeping a place in the unemployment line.
The growing recession hit you like a ton of bricks.
Now too late you've discovered the ponzie schemer's tricks.

So instead of reaping golden years of life lived well,
His final days will be spent in a condemned cell.
I'll take a pauper's liberal life anyday
Than a millionaire whose life is in disarray!
