Elvis And The Babe
 
  Both left this plain on
8/16, first
number doubled up in the

second (per the
Yankee
method) , the Sultan of

Swat, & King of
Rock 'n' Roll, one
captivated many w/ the

Swing of a stick, the other
Swung his
hips. But Babe could also

pitch with the best, &
Elvis could
belt out a tune. Excess

born of greatness,
built up
for tearing down (per the Yankee method) , records

surpassed tho never
equaled, literally &
figuratively larger than life, as

sweat-soaked summer
Time
raged on, each

packed the Pop and impact of a nuclear bomb, &
collapsed under the weight of his earned aplomb.

WELL, was I ever mislead...I expected a poem about Elvis and some gal...and instead, I got Elvis and The Babe...Kings of Swat and Rock! Swat and Rock -
Sounds like some sleazy night club...maybe I am onto something? ?

I had a friend who dressed like Elvis...even believed he was El and when Elvis died I asked Danny.....'Which mortuary he used because he looked damn good.'
