Elvis Wrote Animal Abuse Poetry…
I’m usually not one to judge another writer. I write poetry and personally hate it when people assume something about me based on something I wrote. But I can’t really get over this poem that just sold for $20,035.20 at an auction.
The handwritten poem reads as follows:
As I awoke this morning
when all sweet things
are born a robin perched
on my window sill to greet
the coming dawn
He sang his sweet song
so sweetly and paused
for a moments lull
I gently raised the window
and crushed his
F***ing skull
Now, first off, it’s just bad writing. “Sweet song so sweetly.” Really Elvis? That’s the best you’ve got in terms of description? It’s a little rhyming poem. You’ll note born and dawn are half rhymes and lull and skull are full rhymes. So the line breaks, as it’s written, are a little odd.
Anyway, enough talking about the bad writing. It’s a totally violent poem – meant to be funny although I certainly don’t see the humor. Anyone else? Any huge Elvis fans disappointed by his bird crushing poem? I’m not a fan and I think it’s pretty awful.
