Sir Richard Starkey, AKA Ringo Starr -
drummer, singer and actor too, he's sure come far.
Married since '81 to co-star Barbara Bach, he's 85
and one of the 2 Fab Four still very much alive.
Randolph Peter Best
thought he was a better drummer than all the rest
but his new band wouldn’t put up with such malarky
and he was soon replaced by Richard Starkey
*For those who don't know-Richard Starkey is aka Ringo Starr*
“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.
