revision

Once Elvis Presley's cook compiled a book
of foods fit for the "King of Rock and Roll",
whose love of life and music filled his soul
as if he couldn't get enough. Just look
at favorites among the recipes
she served to suit his palate when he dined,
(including late night meals, when so inclined)
like buttermilk soaked cornbread, black-eyed peas
or that now famous, so outrageous snack
of peanut butter and bananas spread,
then fried on slabs of yeasty homemade bread.
He ate the way he sang--- no holding back!

We watched that kid from Tupelo grow big,
and rock his fans with soul they'd always dig.*

*was:
And though that kid from Tupelo grew big,
he never lost the soul we all could dig.


Fit for a King

Once Elvis Presley's cook compiled a book
of foods fit for the "King of Rock and Roll"
A love of life and music filled his soul
as if he couldn't get enough--- just look
at some of all the many recipes
she served to suit his palate when he dined,
(including late night meals, when so inclined)
like buttermilk soaked cornbread, black-eyed peas
or that now famous so outrageous snack,
of peanut butter and bananas spread
then fried on slabs of yeasty homemade bread.
