Happy Birthday,
Elvis!
You’re
79 and looking fine.
The fact
that your funeral was held in 1977 is a small matter indeed.
Everybody
knows you’re still out there.
In fact,
when I was a kid, post ‘77 Elvis sightings were actually reported on the
evening news.
I guess
the Pre-Boomers of my parents' generation just couldn't imagine a world without
The King.
So he
showed up
At Speedy
Qs in Michigan…
Pennsylvania
GetGoes…
And Alabama
Piggly Wigglies.
Of
course, this came in handy for me and my Gen X cohorts.
After
all, whenever a 5-pound bag of Snickers…
Baker’s dozen
of French Crullers…
Or deep-fried, triple-bacon double cheeseburger went missing —
We knew exactly who to blame.
PROMPT: What if you experienced an Elvis
sighting? As a matter of fact, I think he just showed up in your current
manuscript!
Trust
me, your characters are all shook up.
