He was buying a dozen donuts
and a quart of milk
Wearing sunglasses and
a shirt made of silk
I spoke up and asked him
if he was the king
He just smiled sadly and
mumbled no I don't sing
He turned and ambled
out through the door
I thought my jaw would
bounce off the floor
His pink caddie shown
bright in the sun
On the vanity plate were
the words "HOUND DOG 1"

Nice! You may want to make the word "guart" a "quart" of milk on the second line. Other than that, I love it!

Have a great day!

This is so cute. So, Elvis is alive and well and living in Florida huh?

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?
