The Emperor Of Rock N Roll Poem by Kevin Patrick

The Emperor Of Rock N Roll

Rating: 5.0

With his six string axe
And his three chords stacked
Good old brother Chuck
Could give your folks a heart attack


Burning up the blues
With a rhythm full of soul
He made up the ABCs
Of that church called rock n roll


He could play guitar
And write like Beethoven
Get the kids worked up
As the world's greatest showman


He wrote a call to arms
In Johnny B Good
And a thousand boys marched
And took their dreams where they could


So Move over Elvis
Cause Chuck could sure play
And write a good song
From all hours of the day


King of the electric
His guitar can move your soul
Cause good old chuck
Is the emperor of rock and roll

This guy was the TRUE KING of Rock N Roll! Not only could he play and sing, he wrote some of the best lyrics ever.

Very good poem, Kevin. I have to disagree, though. Chuck Berry was good, and I love his work, but in my opinion, Elvis was better.
