Ringo's Faulty Grammar 400th Poem

“Ringo Starr” is your popular name.
With it, you have achieved fame.
Few people know you as “Richard Starkey”.
That is the name you use legally.

You were the drummer for a four-piece band all would know.
However, you parted ways with them long ago.
From there, you became a solo recording artist.
You had a hit song that topped Billboard‘s list.

Everybody’s familiar with “It Don’t Come Easy”.
You sold lots of records, and made a lot of money.
There is a bit of faulty grammar I see:
“It Doesn’t Come Easily” is saying it properly.

Your song became popular once it hit the air.
As for your grammar, nobody seems to care.
Your performances still garner many cheers.
You have been quite famous all these years.

Entered in Dr. Ram's Quatern Contest
