“A Star for Elvis” 

by Patty Tucker

 

Today a Star will finally be unveiled,

In honor of an artist whose talents will forever prevail.

 

Liberace, Wayne Newton, and Sammy Davis,

just a few of the names,

And now ELVIS! that the Las Vegas Walk of Stars may claim.

 

His mark on the Strip was long standing and great,

Bringing fans from around the world to celebrate.

 

Viva Las Vegas fan clubbers diligently worked and fought,

To realize this dream, to give Elvis his rightful spot.

 

May this star dedicated today bring

Special memories alive of our “Rock & Roll King.”
