Let us
pause while
I delve us
into
ELVIS's
pelvis
one of histories
past tenses
it lies stilled
now in Memphis
where it's
wiggling tempest
ceased to shake
long ago
here it's
common consensus
that his death was
quite senseless
but they still
feel his presence
at Graceland
you know
where his hips
are reclining
on white satin lining
and no longer defining
all the ways
he could flow
when he moved girls
with hip moves
in all of his shows
~+~~+~
but next to poor Elvis
and his now rigid pelvis
lies a twin
brother's hip bones
that had no time
to grow
they had no time
to shimmy
smiles from all
the young ladies
cause he died
as a baby
fate dealt Aaron
a blow
come with me now
imagine!!
for one tiny moment
if there
had been
two Elvis's
both shaking
their pelvis's
wouldn't that
have been special
then we all
would remember
Duet's of
"Love me tender"
and maybe
one would
not end here
where only
worms render
as they
return to sender
all the flesh
down below
cause he went
on a bender
using doctors
to vendor
all the pills
that brought thrills
and wound up
with him killed
we'd all have
one more Elvis
with a rather
old pelvis
shaking winks
from the ladies
wrinkled lips
kissing babies
all those
wonderful maybes
that fate has
denied us
for they both
lie in state
in the Tennessee soil
that cradles
their memories
out back of their home
now through
with life's toil
they've fallen to spoil
but what
could have been
haunts us
possibilities
taunt us
from what now
is just bones
