ELVIS

Elvis was born in Tupelo Mississippi in nineteen thirty five
stepped out of poverty to become the biggest presence alive
He is arguably the most influential force ever
his significance is certain to be forever

Elvis entertained like no-one before or since
with appeal surpassing that of any Prince
Reeling in awe when he sang was not by choice
you couldn't help but when hearing his angelic voice

Women lost control at the sight of this debonair man
screaming, crying, and lusting like no-other fanatic fan
Men felt he was cooler than anyone could be
all wished they could be as desirable as he

A unique talent that sang like no-other could sing
reason he became known throughout the world as "The King"
The dedication his fans possess for him will not fade
to them he is the most admirable person ever made

Like with many others a drug dependency took its toll
culminating in the early demise of his troubled soul
Each year his memory is celebrated at his Memphis home
at Graceland Mansion Elvis' spirit will forever roam

Elvis last meal was three chocolate chip cookies. I like many of his songs, That's Alright Mama, Suspicious Minds, In the Ghetto, and It's Now or Never.dancing teddybear guitar

Just spotted this as I was commenting on another poem.

I'm a big fan, as well. The voice was first- I remember hearing his records at age 3. Looks were great, but what I loved as much as his voice was the heart of the man.

Beautiful poem rose rose rose

(Will try to post one of my fav.songs of his)
