Mike Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 A short poem ELVIS PRESLEY wrote about a dead bird has sold at auction for a staggering $20,000 (£14,000). The King of Rock scrawled the rhyme on a piece of paper after apparently killing a robin that perched on his window ledge. The note, written on his own stationary, reads, "As I awoke this morning when all sweet things are born, a robin perched on my window sill to greet the coming dawn. He sang his sweet song so sweetly and paused for a moment's lull, I gently raised the window and crushed his f**king skull". The poem was part of an online sale of Elvis memorabilia, which closed on Thursday (26Mar09).
