A Happy Birthday to one Ringo Starr, who had the good sense to turn 77 on 7/7/17.
And of course, in honor of Ringo - my tribute to the Michelangelo exhibit downtown:
Tune of Ringo’s “You’re Sixteen, You’re Beautiful and You’re Mine”
With each stroke of your brush, I turn to mush
No one beats your design
Your Sistine is beautiful and so fine
Can’t afford to see Rome, but close to home
Folks are getting on line
Your Sistine is beautiful and so fine
To get in just costs fifteen
So let’s head down and make the scene
Since it’s nearby a transit hub
It may draw crowds, so hurry, bub
So I’m ready to go, to your big show
It says they’re open til nine
Your Sistine is beautiful and so fine
