Bernie Ebbers Found Guilty On All Counts

by Tony Peyser

Spending eight and half decades in jail
Is an incredibly long time to go
Especially if at one point you were
A high-flying corporate CEO.

Using WorldCom’s inflated accounting
Won’t alleviate any of his fears
According to their best calculations
He’ll be gone around ten million years.
