Some critics might, as youngsters call it, “hate”
And argue that it’s utter vanity
To moan about a life which seems so great.
Forgive their envy and inanity.
Who wouldn’t curse the cruel and crushing weight
Of famous living’s wild insanity?
We should salute the selfless sacrifice
You make to entertain us at a price.
