elvis ate big mama


elvis was a cannibal
he ate big mama thorton

and left his dog to howl
while he sang like shit

in acapulco.
he wore nice pants.

became a lifeguard/singer,
dove off a cliff, and got the girl.

bossa nova baby hit
number 1 on the charts

a week after JFK was shot.
oswald was in mexico

while fun in acapulco
was on location.

but elvis wasn't.
he was banned

by the mexican government.
coincidence? or was jack ruby

with him in l.a. at paramount studios
working on the script for dallas.

zapruder was
recruited by kodak

and supplied with a
special roll of film

pre-exposed with
special effects supplied

by animation genius
ray harryhausen.

oswald received his briefing
at the pyramid of the sun

from leon trotsky's grandson
who had been filmed by hidden camera

in a tryst with presley's costar,
ursula andress, in the toilet stall

of a tijuana strip joint. elvis
had a copy of the footage

shipped to his screening room
at graceland to join his collection

of blackmail materials.
perfect leverage to coerce andress

to seduce fidel castro on
a yacht belonging to sam giancana

anchored in acapulco.
she was able to persuade

fidel to smuggle che guevara
onto big mama thorton's houseboat

in sausalito, california.
che told thornton that if she couldn't

persuade johny otis to drop
his lawsuit over rights to hound dog

elvis was prepared to give
her other unreleased songs

to one of his secret lovers
janis joplin, who was living

across the bay in north beach.
all the deals were made

but came to naught
two months later

when the lads from liverpool
hit the lights on sullivan

and presley waddled across
the big vegas showrooms

and vied with liberace
for owning the ugliest cadillac
