Hallo Barb, Do you know whose words are these on the front page of the calendar? So beautiful! First time I read such profound words on an Elvis-calendar

NO CHRISTINE I SURE DON'T, I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHERE I SAW OR GOT THIS AT. IT AS BEEN TO LONG AGO, BUT IT SURE DOES SOUND JUST LIKE ELVIS DOESN'T IT?

I FOUND THIS POEM I HAVE BEEN READING AND THE PERSON THAT PUT IT IN THE BOOK SAYS IT DESCRIBES ELVIS PERFECTLY, AND TO ME YES IT SURE DOES. SO HERE IS THE POEM: I HAVE DRIFTED DOWN THE STREAM OF LIFE TIL WEARY, SORE OPPRESSED; AND I'M TIRED OF ALL THE MOTIION ANS SIMPLY WANT TO REST. I HAVE TESTED ALL OF THE PLEASURES THAT LIFE CAN HOLD FOR A MAN. I HAVE SCANNED THE WHOLE WORLD OVER TIL THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO SCAN. I HAVE HEARD THE FINEST MUSIC. I HAVE READ THE RAREST BOOKS. I HAVE DRUNK THE PUREST VINTAGE. I HAVE TASTED ALL THE COOKS; I HAVE RUN THE SCALE OF LIVING AND HAVE SOUNDED EVERY TONE. THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO LIVE FOR AND I LONG TO BE ALONE. ALONE AND UNMOLESTED WHERE THE VULTURES DO NOT RAVE AND THE ONLY REFUGE LEFT ME IS THE QUIET, PLACID GRAVE. FOR THE LOVE OF ELVIS!! BARB!

OK!

the way that Elvis lived his life for the most part was truly exemplary and of supreme character, not only that of the Christian life-style as far as he was possibly able to and in that particular life-style that could not be easy with the many temptations to offer there for him but managed better than many of those who now seek to bring Elvis down I'm sure!
