TMZ reported: "The handwritten poem -- which is part of the massive Elvis auction going on at gottahaverockandroll.com -- is called "Ode to a Robin," and was sometimes recited by Elvis on stage and at one point was used as the answering machine message at his home."
Hilarious. Am I right or am I right? I know. America now has a slight, detailed look into what was going on inside Elvis' very warped mind. He was more than macabre. There should be a club for morbid poets. Nevermind, I'm sure there is. Given that, I have a strong suggestion for those clubs: officially dub Elvis the Shakespeare to their genre of poetry. It only seems logical. Anyone who can write about a Robin, being heinously murdered on a window sill, has my vote.
At least the bird received a shared moment with 'the king' and his shaky leg before having a window slammed onto its little body. With that, he really ain't nothin' but a bird killer.
So, I'm reading your article....looking out my office window (with happy thoughts)...and really getting into the peacefulness of the poem and then BAM!
ReplyDeleteShit! LOL
Is it creepy that I'm the top bidder for the Elvis Jail House Rock Pants!?!?!?! I think it is!
