Old Blue Eyes & The King

____________________________________________________________________________________

Old Blue Eyes & The King
Both could sing
Both could swing

Both did light up
Entire nations
With  different sounds
For different generations

Like Frank Sinatra before him
Elvis Presley could say–
I did it MY WAY

With the passing of  Nelson Mandela,
it behooves me, at this time,
to acknowledge some people
who contributed mightily
to the cause of  Civil Rights
of all human beings.



Both men photographed here–
Frank Sinatra & Elvis Presley–
would have the same response
to the statement
God bless Nelson Mandela.

They would say:
"God already did that–
ninety-five years ago!"
