Burned To the Ground

When he burned down his store for the insurance money, he got caught.
He was arrested and a jail sentence was what he got.
His dad left him that store in his will.
When his plan backfired, he looked ill.
He committed a crime and he paid the price.
If you're thinking about burning down a place for the insurance, please think 
twice.
