Money Never Fails

His ageing wife at home getting drunk on expensive wine
Whilst with his lovely young mistress in a posh restaurant he dine
Of his infidelities to her his wife is quite aware
But she does not love him nor neither does she care
That he will sleep with his young blond tonight
She'll tell you silly old men like him not worth a fight,
In dark brown hair dye he cloaks his silver gray
And clearly he has known a better day
With three great grandchildren his eldest a son is fifty four
He is just a few years short of his four score
But he is wealthy a money billionaire
Of which his younger lover is aware
And with him she will stay even though she is only in her prime
Money never fails it wins out every time.

I wonder what Tiger Woods would say... :-)

Sad, but in many ways true. The acquistion and maintenance of wealth seems to become more and more part of human culture. I grew up in the 1960s when there was a movement toward nonmaterialism, but that pretty much fizzled when the baby-boomers all got jobs and bought real estate. With a few exception (so far money won't give us mortality, yet), there's not much it won't buy and it gets harder and harder to ignore its importance.
