After Elvis Presley’s passing, Colonel Parker wrote “A Poem” and would distribute it in many forms. The offered display features a signed copy of the poem with two photos of Elvis and The Colonel. The poem sheet reads:
The songs he sang at home each day / Pleased his Parents in every way. / This humble home, with love to spare / The three together went everywhere. / Then came this man, his name was Sam, / he recorded a song for Elvis’ Mom. / That’s when everything began. / It was blue suede shoes and blue moon too, / Along with midnight and moody blue. / It was Elvis here and Elvis there, / And teddy bears were everywhere. / It was don’t be cruel and such a night / And he sang Mamma that’s alright. / He was all shook up and GI blues / And girls, girls, girls and potluck too. / Kissin’ cousins and roustabout, / And then we knew what he was all about. / The boy became a man and he carried on / To make us happy with his songs. / We will play your songs from day to day, / For you really never went away. / Sincerely, The Colonel
