GRACELAND!

GRACELAND!

A Poem by LeeLee Ryder
"

IN 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 blast

"

GRACELAND!

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!
