breakfast with elvis.

Posted on by

as i walked in, i looked around and asked out loud,

“is this elvis day or something?”

i heard a deep voice following me in who answered,

“you better believe it baby.”

and that is how we found ourselves sharing a breakfast space.

luckily, elvis read the sign, waited to be seated

climbed up on the counter and belted out hits

elvis worked the crowd and met a tiny dancer

and changed costumes before my second cup of coffee

it was a full breakfast.

  16. I had an Elvis on the 217 bus the other night. He got on at Hollywood Blvd after a night’s work on same. Seemed like a nice fella. He got off at Willoughby, waving goodbye to all of us ordinary mortals.
