Notes About The Poem

Elvis

Forever Elvis
The guy with the pelvis
lives on, and on, and on, and on.
in the hearts of his fans he’ll never be gone


He was a guy who knew how to sing
Gyrating his hips was his special thing
When performing on stage
The crowd would rampage
It’s no wonder they call him “the king “


From gospel tunes to rock and roll
Folk and Country, blues and soul
Near fifty years since he’s been gone
But his memory and music still live on

Jan Allison February 20, 2025 at 5:53 PM what a wonderful tribute to 'the king' he certainly was a looker in his youth, such a shame how his life ended all too young. but his music lives on forever:-) hugs jan xx Margaret Foster February 23, 2025 at 4:54 AM Thanks Jan. I cried my eyes out when I first heard him sing, “old Shep” Those were the days. Hugs

Andrea Dietrich February 19, 2025 at 12:59 PM He was so CUTE too. I remember watching his dumb movies at the drive-in. I know he was embarrassed to play in those frivolous movies. He deserved a shot at a really good movie. He is immortal! Margaret Foster February 23, 2025 at 4:49 AM Yes Andrea, there can’t be many who have never heard of Elvis. Cheers
