Wherefore do fools thy great renown dismiss

And jeer that thou art famed for being famed?

They claim thy wealth unyoked to talent is,

That of thy fortune thou should’st be ashamed.

Know they not of thy vaunted app, Kimoji,

Or thy bestselling book, of selfies made?

Think they the giddy sums that E! bestows thee

Reflect not well thy powers to persuade?

Why claim they thou art symptom of an age

Of frippery, an Instagramming whore?

Art thou not kindred of old Betty Paige,

Monroe and Grable and Zsa Zsa Gabor?

I will not grant to watch thee is obnoxious:

’Tis so to mock thee, or upbraid thy watchers.
