Thank Elvis

Thank Elvis

That I passed up that chance

Of a dishonest berth

Of an insincere declaration

It has cost me many tears

And many lonely nights

But my reasons to reject

Were honest as hell

And who I truly desired

I spoke of truly I can tell

Did I get who I wanted?

Probably not

But I wanted a lot

And look at the legs and chin I got

Tryin a get em

Wishfull thinking

Has a special evolutionary purpose

Look at all these verses

Look at the chagrin of my versus

Who hoped they'd hear

From me bitter curses

Our imaginative visions

Often bust us out of very real prisons

Our fantastical decisions

See real reptiles

In the images of dragons in a prism
