Best Elvis Poems


Premium Member 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...

Viva La Elvis - Abridged Version
VIVA LA ELVIS

In Tupelo Mississippi, twin baby boys were born,
To Gladys and Vernon Presley, but sadly one passed on.
They named him Jesse Garon, their hearts so full of pain,
And then came Elvis Aaron, a breath of sweet refrain.

One heart beating for the two, their spirits...

Mister Elvis Presley 
Sang his songs expressively 
In Aloha From Hawaii,
He sang them just for me, aieee!

I was 15 when he sang just for me
Straight from Hawaii via TV,
My heart skipped a beat,
I jumped from my seat,
His music had changed my reality.

Elvis has now left...

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...

Premium Member The Age of Elvis
His black shadow forever in elongation-
Still thrills the fans to adoration!
Yet with power to enthrall,
He walks the vacant hall.

The road cuts sharply to the west-
But, the music already has progressed.
In the sunset days, we feel warm rays;
His memory's alive when the music plays!

Spans two dimensions-the...

Premium Member Elvis Presley
Elvis Presley was on stage with his hips swinging
His movements kept women from hearing his singing
He could make so much money without moving his lips
All he had to do was go on stage and gyrate those hips

For Battle of the Clerihew # 2 contest of...

If You Crossed Elvis With Michael Jackson You'D Get Michael Presley Or Vice
A BRIDGE OVER THE RIVER QUIET

‘Tis the infancy of yet another day
And I hear it crying for its bottle now
But I know the sun is no child anyway
It can be a sadistic son and it will teach you how  

I live under a tunnel...

Elvis' Last Moves
It’s a sad way to remember “Old Elvis,”
a man who did more than most with his pelvis.
Must have moved it to a feverous Las Vegas pitch,
trying to move his last fried PB and banana samitch!



The “KING” died on the throne!...

Premium Member Elvis, Still the King
Elvis Aron Presley was from the period of time,
of the coolest with slicked back black hair,
and he could shake those legs at singin' time...
Yea! the people loved him everywhere,

He'd curl that lip, let his back-bone slip,
and make the girls scream out loud, real wild!
He'd shake...

Elvis
When Elvis sang he rocked and he rolled.  
His fans jumped up and shimmied, I'm told. 
The folks in Tupelo 
got all shook up below, 
like devils and demons got a hold....

Elvis Presley, Graceland
Hair black as snow's
An awkward crooked.                            
Smile, to boot his stiffer
Upper lips of red wine.

His gorgeous swagger,
Lingered all...

Elvis Quilt of Rags
On a cold and grey Mississippi morn
a poor little baby boy was born
in the ghetto

His mama and daddy were just so poor
no money to feed and clothe one more
and his mama cried

Afraid her babe would get cold in a storm
she made a quilt of rags...

Elvis Presley, the King
A voice like velvet, he did bring
With gyrating moves, dads cried he’s no saint
But those gyrations made the girls scream and faint!...

Saw the reincarnation of Elvis last night
Was blown away at this amazing sight
It was Elvis for sure
Back from yonder shore
Was freaked, my complexion turned a very bright white...

The Devil In Disguise
If you're a celebrity
For medications come to me
I have them all, come see, come see
I'm the devil in disguise

I sign prescriptions by the score
If you run out, I'll give you more
I'll bring your pills right to your door
I'm the devil in disguise

Dr. Robert, Feelgood too
Names...
