    An Epitaph on the Tomb of a Man of my generation.

    Beneath this stone lies Max, son of Dorian of Kensington.
    He became a man at 15, conquering Lucretia's virginity;
    Graduate of the London School of Economics and adopted
    By Procter and Gamble whilst still beardless. At first,
    He was Judged to be worth 60,000; but his first million
    Made at 29 proved his manliness to the world.

    Unto the world he gave many women their finest orgasms
    And many a man their finest nights of revelry. He married,
    Julia daughter of Darius one the the seven partners of Fitch;
    The alliance did not last, but of it Hank and David were born.
    For his children he bought a villa in the province of Dubai,
    Worth over 5 million, earned with his prowess
    In the manly and ancient profession of Financial speculation.
    Few men possessed greatness and intelligence as he, of which his
    Portfolio in the FTSE and the NYSE can speak,
    And the straight-haired Chinese knows it well.
    All that glittered and was gold, he made his.

    A fun satire commenting on the meaninglessness of modern life. A life filled with temporal wealth. How temporary!

    and a successful attempt indeed! I'd just expect to read how Max died.
