Elvis Presley (8 January 1935 – 16 August 1977) was an American singer and actor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All Shook Up

The morally shocked protestations

That greeted his pelvis gyrations

Resulted in lots

Of above-the-waist shots

That avoided strategic locations.

Ending Up

 

Though Elvis caused fans to exult

With a fervor more fit for a cult,

His mountains of drugs,

And consorting with thugs,

Had a fatally tragic result.
