Time ran and out of a Memphis clock Innovations occurred then, just take stock In the forties America wasn’t ready For a dance of gyrations, gents weren’t steady There were no portable record players No predictions of social change sayers. Then the sands of the hourglass ran Kerouac wrote what Americans had spanned Young Tennessee man moved the way women liked Stepped away from the mike, shook and spiked started to lift his left leg, to do some little gyrations next thing you knew, female mobs were at every station He became the music: shocking and thrilling A motto of energy release, generation instilling Some said he toyed with emotion he answered, “You can’t just stand like a statue” look alikes started to pop up Mob of women massed at each stop He called everyone sir, Aware of the cultural stir and what it would bring he replied "I’m not going to fight it", it’s a really good thing, To opposers it was vulgar, In retrospect, it was revolutionary now it’s nothing Time emptied out from an hourglass clock an innovation occurred, just take stock.

I know...I know...but, I'll sit on my hands...! After all....some things were meant to be. And, when you, take my hand, I'll stay off of your blue suede shoes! |

 (sigh) Oh my, I am one of the younger ones and I don't know this either! (blushes with embarrasment) Oh well, you can suprise me with the answer! LOL! (smiles) This is a wonderful trivial poem, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martin, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Okay a few hours of sitting on your hands is painful enough..hehe..the answer in blue suede shoes..the man who rustled critics with his metaphoric "hound dog" and got notoriety with the great Ed Sullivan is none other than....................... ladies and gentlemen Elvis Presley!!! good going everyone!!You guessed it by putting in bits of titles  [This message has been edited by ecrivan (07-08-2002 10:23 AM).] |
