Ringo's return

CHRISTOPHER HOLLIS

Twinkle, twinkle, Ringo Starr, How I wonder where you are?

Back home from the Himalayas?

Surely Beatles should be stayers—

Sticking out their six-week think

With only grapefruit juice to drink?

Ringo was of softer stuff.

Ringo had had quite enough.

Thinking might be very well But thinking all the time was hell.

He found what's more—and there's the rub—

He couldn't take the spicy grub.
