Warning! ELVIS Uses 'FUCK' Word: 'Ode To A Robin' [Reads Orig. Poem: November, 1973]

Warning! Elvis uses the Fuck-word!

"As I awoke this Morning, when all sweet things are born, A robin perched upon my windowsill to greet the coming morn...He sang his song so sweetly, and paused for a moment's lull. I gently raised the window, and crushed his fucking skull."

Elvis Presley's Bird Murder Poem

Like a mirror image of Elvis Presley's life, this poem written by the King of Rock 'n' Roll starts with promise and then ends in sudden, unforeseen tragedy.

The handwritten poem -- which was part of a massive Elvis auction-- is called, "Ode to a Robin," and was sometimes recited by Elvis on stage, and at one point used as the answering machine message at his home.

Presley's poem could be yours for -- an estimated $4- &5,000 --

Linda Thompson was born May 23, 1950 in Memphis, Tennessee. Linda won several beauty pageants, including the 1972 Miss Tennessee USA title. In July of that year she began a relationship with the recently separated Elvis Presley and immediately moved in with him at Graceland for roughly three and a half years.

LARRY KING: Do you remember Elvis' poem, 'Ode To A Robin' that he told at your house on Old Hickory in Memphis in 1974?

LINDA THOMPSON: RCA tried to buy that from me and I said no. I'd love to hear it. My children were asking about it just the other day and I was looking for my tape. I have it on a little cassette tape somewhere.
(laughs).

That was his favorite poem.
