What's In a Name

so rich
to be
poorly
spelled

Aaron
as Aron
has me
to tell

that at
a local
talent
show

when the
announcer
proclaims
herrrrrrre's
Elvis

an impersonator
doesn't say he
isn't Andy
Kaufman

may they 
both enjoy 
the disbelief
of what is death

I knew for sure Elvis was dead when Michael Jackson Married his daughter. If the King was alive he would have stopped the wedding. ;0)

And now I'm in R.E.M., man on the moon, twirling your last stanza around my tongue.

I'm not a great Elvis fan (actually his guitarist was the great one), but going to Graceland is oh so very Americana. (Long story) But I did read that Elvis thought Andy Kaufman did the best impression. Both, Elvis and Kaufman supposedly died. I don't think either did.
