I heard about it on the radio
'Twas a Benefit Concert last night,
And since it was close to my Birthday
I thought we would go out and try it.

For the radio ad had inticed me
And encouraged me I should be there,
For as a Special Treat, they said
That Elvis there would appear!

That seemed to me quite different
And so it was you see,
The Elvis that was there last night
Was only vaugly what I 'membered him to be>

Oh sure, he has his Elvis attire
Sunglasses, red scarf and a ring,
And if I closed my eyes and listened
Much like Elvis, this guy could sing.

But he was an old and pudgy version
With his hip action all but gone,
But he made some bold Elvis knee bends
And sang quite a few of his songs.

I'd say it was quite entertaining
But my opinion shouldn't go to his head
For to me, it was the best proof ever-
That alas, the poor "King" IS dead!

david; Thank goodness! sorry....never liked him...but this is a great poem and very funny...sounds like less than an enjoyable evening! Love, Sis

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

He's DEAD??? Really???

Glad you had a good time, and thanks for sharing it in this very amusing poem.

having had to suffer through N'Sync and Brittany Spears last night during the superbowl......I'd almost prefer a simulated Elvis *LOL*

yes he is but, like all great artists, his special talent lives on in the hearts of those who appreciated his talent and his charisma. well done.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost
