Once You Are a Celebrity

Once you become a celebrity
You will no need to self-defend
For every act, you do be 
Automatically explained

In China, no known the exact time
There's a story well-known
As to a calligrapher’s fame 

The man was adept at brush-writing
Gradually, he won some fame
No one dares to say his writing
With a yes or a no

One day, he did an experiment for testing
If the people actually knew his merit
He made a dung beetle with ink crawling  
On a piece of paper, to yield him a work 

Then, he asked to comment on his writing
And not surprising to find that no one
Didn't  praise his calligraphy amazing
