Elvis

He only came 

To rock n roll

But freed a million 

Repressed souls

Salvation found 

In a pelvic thrust 

Releasing dreams

Of untold lust

God & the Devil

Rolled into one

The old generation 

Wanted him gone!

But there he stayed 

For decades long

The rock n roll king

Kept rockin' along!

Thank you M.C. Stephen & John!
I had 2 versions so have added the other slightly different version!
Yes M.C. my Dad always loved Sinatra, but they always made me sing Elvis when I was a bairn. Apparently I was a good turn though 😂
And John, the wife says I'm more like a poodle...🙁
And thanks for the likes!🌷

A real rock and roll poem, Stephen.

There were some Elvis songs I liked; "The Girl of my Best Friend"
was one. But it was Fats Domino and his driving rocking piano style putting across those fabulous Domino/Dave Bartholomew hits on Imperial Records that I looked out for back in the day when each week's "hit parade" was full of talent whose work
still sounds great today. My main popular music hero, Frank Sinatra, may not have had time for "Rock", but I'm just so glad I
was around when BOTH reached their best!
