On the Fourth of July with Dogbelly and Elvis

Tonight, on this rainy Fourth of July, I am going to post Ed Schelb's graphic version of "Dogbelly Auditions for the Ghost of Elvis."  I know not every reader is from the US, but this poem is also a fun poem for a Saturday night.





















And here is Ed's video version of this poem:

Did I post his video of "Quixote in Cowtown"?

Or "Bird Call Dance Hall"?

I'll finish with a few Elvis Presley songs.  First is "Return to Sender":

Next is "Little Sister":

Finally, Elvis sings "America the Beautiful":
