Elvis' Animal Abuse Poetry for Sale

Elvis fanatics haven't gotten to the bottom of the barrel just yet, but they're getting close. One of the items now available in a big Elvis auction is a handwritten poem by the King about a bird.

On yellow stationery printed "From the home of ... Elvis Presley," the King jotted down the rhyme he often recited onstage and sometimes used as his answering machine message. He found his muse, it seems, in a robin perched on his windowsill in the morning: "He sang his sweet song so sweetly, and paused for a moment's lull/I gently raised the window, and crushed his f---ing skull."

Apparently, this is what happens when you've sung 'Don't Be Cruel' one too many times.
