GRACELAND!A Poem by LeeLee RyderIN MMMMMEMORY OF ELVIS..(add the twang & you've got the makings of a performance piece) Thank yooou! Visited Graceland in the early 90's and had a blastGRACELAND! where girls wear bullet-proof do(s) & say ... thank yooou! where boys tattoo TCB on their blue suede shoes & the ghost of the big "E" croons the blues GRACELAND! where time stands still & life runs hot where Lisa Marie and Priscilla are not and grape Nehi's hit the spot GRACELAND! where the town of Memphis burns at night and ignites into flame where Elvis look-a-likes fall like rain and you can find 'em "in person" on the corner of Main GRACELAND! where 1000s of fans pay homage to "the King" and the back beat tickles your feet where the roadside prophets congregate & meet to join the club of the Elvi elite GRACELAND! where the graves of Elvis & family taste bittersweet and don't forget he had a twin maybe a brother could've kept Elvis thin and away from "the" drugs that did him in GRACELAND ... OH GRACELAND! © 2011 LeeLee Ryder |
