HOW I AM
Ronald Woods 1965 (Los Angeles)
I have been better.
I have been worse.
Yet looking this well.
Must be some sort of curse.
You may think what you want.
Voice opinions aloud.
Print pros and cons
Join the crowd.
Some say they know.
The me from the past.
Others have pictures to show.
Are prepared to cast.
I take it all in stride
Let them think what they must
Since I know
With whom I can trust.
By RONALD WOODS
