A Whole Lot of Shaking

.

                                            Elvis Aaron Presley
                                                  So different from John Wesley
                                                  When he got on stage
                                            A whole lot of shaking earned his wage

Good job. The only claim to fame of our local hospital is that Elvis once visited a relative who was a patient. We are fairly close to Memphis. Elton Camp

I tried to put a comment in earlier, but the site went down when I clicked the validate button. That happens so much! Good humorous comparison to the two great men.

A terrific clerihew for the contest. You certainly had me smiling. When Elvis first started his "shaking," people thought he was obscene. Shows you how times have changed, Sara. Some of today's musicians are out for shock value with bizarre costumes, makeup and onstage antics. Best wishes in the contest. Love, Carolyn
