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 his hips, twist 'n' dip,
in rhythm he'd croon the croud,
No matter where he'd go, nearly every heart he'd seize,
and Elvis stole the show, even in his movies,
Yea! Elvis stole the show, everywhere he'd go,
and Elvis is still the King of good ol' rock and roll!
We'll always love his blues, rock 'n' roll too,
the ol' time hits the radio still plays,
His blue suede shoes and other awesome tunes,
matched his charismatic ways,
He'd shake his hips, twist 'n' dip,
in rhythm he'd croon the crowd,
he'd curl that lip, let his backbone slip,
and make the girls screams out loud, real wild,
No other voice could sing, yes, I'll have you know,
like Elvis.....the king, of good ol' rock and roll!
Yea! Elvis stole the show, and my heart and soul,
and Elvis is still the king....of good ol' rock and roll!!!!
Those rhinestone suits, flashy shoes and boots,
Go cat, go cat, go-o-o-o-o-o!
(A lone voice whispers)
It's early morning as I stand here in our old bedroom
Listening to my old friends the robins, blackbirds, and thrushes
The twitterings, tweeting and chirps of wild birds
That now live in my bushes
Mourning
Mourning
Thinking about my old lover from Peru
Who once helped carry me through
When my busy life was so blue
Five foot five
Deep brown eyes that seduced you and made you come alive
Crow black hair and a bright playful smile as wide as a country mile
Oh, how I thanked the lord that he had blessed me
As we slow danced every night before bed
On our back porch
To Can't Help Falling In Love by the legendary Elvis Presley
And as I stand here
Thinking of her
Picturing her
Beckoning me on to that porch
Dressed in white
Smiling with an air of sensuality
Making our life together dazzle with colour
As that famous guy sang
A legend of the Tupelo family
The lingering thoughts that intensely affects me is this
Taking those for granted you love and especially
Not enjoying each moment spent together could one day be depressingly deadly
I'm just so happy we cherished each moment together
Smiling
Dancing and more importantly
Talking
Before the Lord
Unfairly
Took home
My beloved Jessie
Who I still remember
Whenever I hear
Can't Help Falling In Love by the legendary Elvis Presley
Foundation.
Cherish each moment together with someone you love
As you make your own life's mini-documentary series
For one day, unfortunately, whenever you look for them
All that may be left are deep memories
That could cause pain
No one ever sees

Hair black as snow's
An awkward crooked.
Smile, to boot his stiffer
Upper lips of red wine.
His gorgeous swagger,
Lingered all the young
Girls battle to snuff
About. Songs of the KING of rock n' roll
Love me tender, jailhouse rock,
Girl happy, Frankfort special,
Blue Hawaii, g.i. Blues. Ect.
His voice left you wanting
More ELVIS PRESLEY,
GRACELAND is the true,
KING of ROCK N' ROLL.
His music will NEVER DIE:
It's an inspiration that will,
And has lasted a decade entirely
Forever.
Entered in contest what songwriters inspire; or writers inspire you????

CHINK (for The Atheist contest)
A cosmic mistake produced creatures and plants
So daffodils could have just happened by chance
A silvery moon in a star spangled sky
Could have cropped up as the years passed us by
The hills and the vales and the wind in your sails
Pretty reef fishes and dolphins and whales
Snowflakes and icicles, glistening lakes
Things that just happen and nobody makes
I’m just not convinced that some bloke on a cloud
Made Presley and Bowie and (Boy) George O’Dowd
It ain’t your God planning with all of his might
Nature veers off and sometimes it’s right
You stepped from the sea with moonlight reflecting
In your ocean slicked hair and your silken wet skin
And not that my doubt nor my disbelief altered
But as you stood there in the moonlight I faltered
If perfect is ten and okay’s a seven
I look at you and I see an eleven
The tiniest chink in my atheist view
For what else explains the perfection of you

Why fight over different cultures
Don’t become like sniffling vultures
We live together with mixed races
One world in beautiful places
Black, brown, red, yellow or white
But all we do is argue and fight
Why can’t we live in harmony?
For that’s Gods plan, can’t you see
Many geniuses who lived and died
From various cultures and many tribes
Each discerning and want the best
Many learning, so full of zest
Musical genius like Bob Marley
Comedy hero Christopher Farley
China’s greatest, unique Brue Lee
Rock and roll star Elvis Presley
King of pop Michael Jackson
Magnificent voice of Toni Braxton
Italy’s finest, the ace Madonna
To watch them perform is such an honour
Many more from around the globe
Different skills, from different pros
The list just gets longer and longer
Freely they give their precious Wonga
So if you have talent, and want to be free
Don’t bother about your nationality
Inside were the same and I think your agree
There’s just one more genius waiting to be!

Maybe I didn't listen when you told me
Your heart was gentle and kind
Maybe I didn't understand, but you could
have shown me...
All the reasons you were going to move on
All the feelings that were finally gone
All the chances I had actually blown!
Maybe I didn't know you
because I never knew
the way that you would leave me
deceive me with the honest truth
Believe me, darling – I never knew
Finally, I let you down for the last time
You're going away to never return
And I don't have a right to follow you
Into the future where you’ll be without me
Girl, I'm sorry that I never sold you
On the belief that I was the King of Rock
You said I was like a stone instead,
Always holding you down so you'd
Nearly sink like a rock!
Maybe I didn't know you
Quite as well as I should have
Because I didn't know you
Would leave me without a second thought
All the reasons that I love you
Have been buried with our past
You are the reason that I'm discouraged
This King of Rock just doesn't roll like
he did when he was there beside you,
bringing hope to the heart, faith to the soul
feelings that were dim to the brilliance of a light
so alive it feels like, here on the inside...
Maybe I will never believe you
could just leave me without a reason to…
Sing this song, pleading with you
to listen to my heart - it is beating for you!
Yes, darling - You were always on my mind
YOU WERE ALWAYS ON MY MIND

Long live "The King"
gone to soon before his time
man, he could sing
he sang and acted earning every nickle and dime
His voice so diverse
he was absolutely one of a kind
every teenager was so immersed,
when he sang"Always on My Mind"
Young and handsome till the day he died
although there have been sightings
women of all ages have cried
you can still catch a glimpse of him under Walmart lighting
His performances stayed with you
as he sang"Blue Suede Shoes"
and "Loving You"
but i guess he paid his dues
Obsessed with drugs
he lost the fight
and lost his life to those same drugs
on that dark night
From a small hick town
all the way to fame
then he fell down
leaving his name

I’ve been to every corner of this good old U.S.A.
From New York to Miami; from Seattle to L.A.
I’ve visited state parks from the east coast to the west
And many famous cities (San Francisco is the best).
But somehow in my travels, a few states I have missed.
So I have sat down tonight and made myself a list.
Cities I’ve not been to yet with sights I want to see
Lie in Arkansas and in the state of Tennessee.
In Arkansas my sister lives inside her lovely home,
And that state has some parts where I would like to roam.
Some day I must travel there, and see for my first time
Where Jenny lives (I must prepare myself for humid clime).
I’ve never been to Little Rock; I googled it to see
Attractions I could visit like the Clinton Library.
River Market District looks more interesting though.
Also there’s a city zoo, a place I’d like to go.
But Memphis, east of Little Rock, is calling more to me.
With Jenny, I would travel two more hours leisurely.
We’d laugh and talk our whole trip through
Like as kids we always used to do.
What I most look forward to is certain to be grand:
Elvis Presley’s mansion; I’ll be going to Graceland!
Since Presley died, I’ve heard about this landmark for his fans.
I’ve longed to go, but hubbie always had his other plans.
This vacation I must have. I’ve talked to Jenny and
It’s good to know I’d have with me my sister and good friend.
And maybe next we’d head down to the Gulf of Mexico.
That New Orleans is sure a spot I wish that I could go!

it happened as we rounded the roundabout
which is supposed to happen
are you lonesome tonight? (laughing version)
my daughter has been yelling at the smart speaker
to play a katy perry song the speaker has never heard of
for the last forty minutes
she bops down the street
imitating the bass from rick james'
super freak
the stress management course advises to
cultivate a non-work identity
in which i have decided to be Jim Morrison
i've been standing outside the back door.
i need to develop authentic communication skills,
confidence,
and a depth of knowledge
pursue travel, and athletic challenges or
a mental health professional
i have been advised to carry a notebook
and wear the leather jacket
and grow my hair
two out of those three i can do
