 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

 It was the Seattle Worlds Fair
Elvis was doing a movie
"Meet me at the Seattle World's Fair"
Elvis stood at the top of the escalator
Holding a little Asian girl
We stood in the shadows watching
Met in college first real date
A Bodyguard came handed my girlfriend a note
"Elvis would like to share dinner with you tonight!"
My girlfriend tore it up, "How pompus I am with my boyfriend!"
I was disappointed looking forward to dinner with Elvis
I went out the next day to the gum machine
It took hours to find the right ring
"You aint nothing but a Hound dog"
We been married now fiftyfour years
Never know where that special girl might be!
But mine stood holding hands with me
Look in the shadows behind screaming girls
Holding hands with, "My Girl"
Eat your heart out Elvis!
