Poem and painting: Bernie Madoff, on ice for 150 years

Like many Ponzi schemes, Bernard Madoff's plan was to get back on top and go legit, but he had to return to the cookie jar over and over and over again to keep the foundering enterprise afloat one more month, and when he got ahead of it, he'd ease back into the crowd like a victorious and undetected pickpocket, but it ended more like a drunken hit and run driver racing away from the bloody scene until he piles into a wall that seems to jump out from nowhere and, bad luck for him--he survives the wall.
