Emile Pinet Poet Clerihew

Notes About The Poem

Clerimerick Couplets (hybrid form)
Sponsored by: Mark Toney

 

Elvis Aaron Presley

The legendary teen idol Elvis Aaron Presley
was criticized for his gyrations, expressly.
And yet, this shooting star went supernova,
morphing into a teenage Casanova.

When this Memphis boy began to croon
he'd wildly grind his hips to the tune;
and flashing his ice-blue eyes,
he'd generate tears and sighs; 
while making the young girls scream and swoon.

Born blond, he dyed his hair black
and the King never went back.
He seemed to suffer an itch,
the way he would twist and twitch.
