No, Miss Celebrity, you wouldn't remember me- -I am the helper bee you stepped on - - I am the old friend who helped you get an audition before you crawled over top of me on that ladder to success- - I am the mother so grey and worn and unattractive who worked three jobs so you could go to college and make influential friends- - sometimes celebrity makes people become overwhelmed by their sense of importance- - - top marks, Mj! ! ! !

Thank you, Susan. And absolutely! How is it that fame or celebrity is that ingredient that can create a whole new person? And it usually represents a new version that is in no way improved.

M.J., some of us are walking around and are recognizable to the general public even without our knowledge. I shared the story with you through an email because PH wouldn't allow it in this space. That's unfortunate because I think that your readers would appreciate it.

Richard, I am still floored. That was an absolutely amazing story. And you did deserve that recognition. Thanks for sharing.

A puzzle like poem to me, this one. I can think like, .. Celebrities are so many in numbers that I used to forget them by their field or profession or the reason why one is famous if I come across. .. Or I don't know any celebrity as a person, I can just recognize the face. But I say know one. Dear, this puzzle is the delivery and beauty this piece.

A short and impressive picture has been astutely given on celebrity through question tag. Beautiful Senryu. Thanks for sharing.
