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.

The Barbed Butterfly

the barbed butterfly

she shimmied onto a barstool
looking for a nine to five reprieve
a fight or a night 
which ever came her way

black pencil skirt pulled up so far
jacket slung across the chair
says I don't care 
it's Friday.

g and t with a slice of lime
melts her 
slick cocoon.

Liveliest Teenager At the Disco Ball

She was the liveliest teenager at the disco ball hall.
Her mushroom head hat made her sixteen feet tall.
She shimmied and shook, and had a terrific time, a real ball.
We could barely get her peeled off a fellow named Wall.

Wall was frightened of her, she was all that and more.
What kind of teen is she? He asked a girl named Lenore.
She used to be my friend, but she has too many polka dots now.
The liveliest teenager with mushroom head hat, was still kind of a wow.

One Long Last Look

The moon shimmied up her pole in the sky
   Winking at me with her crescent eye
The stars danced in time to a silent tune
   As the season ended that started in June

O, one long last look at summer's constellations
   Before they surrender to Fall's deportations
And the heavens assign them to regions distant
   As brisk winds whisk them away in an instant
