Howard's End

Man of means

Hard working
fast talking symbol 
of the American dream

Makes mega money

which attracts the honeys

Life on the road

You know how it goes

The wife knows

She looks the other way

Vows someday he will pay

but not today

she'll out spend
the pain
of his betrayal

Fast forward
to the lonely
old man today

First his wife

then his 
steady mistress

passed away

Depressed senior 

alone in his mansion

all his possessions

mock his loneliness

Friend takes him
to a gentleman's club
to drool over the
main gyrating attraction 

In true romantic
love story fashion

Our aroused relic finds
his final passion

Showers her 
with materialism

Overwhelming desires

Shop and awe

Affections acquired

Wedding bells ring out

For the old man

and his trophy
named Anna

The rest of it all

is tabloid Nirvana
