When pondering the meaning of existence,  
as natural, for men of certain breeding,  
as breathing -- while maintaining proper distance,  
though compensating with insightful reading  
of every latest essay on the subject...  
Oh, but to grasp the wonder of it all --  
they could, you know, since money is no object,  
and grasping never ceases to enthrall --  
but serving as a model and example,  
restrain themselves, at least when in the lens  
of paparazzi -- maybe just a sample?  
Then diligently back to screens and pens,  
lamenting Man's inevitable follies.  
Tomorrow, tennis lesson, serves and volleys.
