Elvis Alive!

 

Humpty Dumpty fell

And the crash was heard by all

Still, they said, don’t tell 

False flags and footprints

Just like that infamous bell

Preexisting cracks

A story to sell

Elvis alive in freefall  

Spinning carrousel

This is in response to two different challenges. One was to write a nine-line verse with this rhyme scheme: a b a c a d a b a, with c and d unrhymed.  

The second was to address the notion of the Mandela Effect. I’m not sure if this qualifies, as it’s a non-narrative way to riff about some infamous (or ridiculous) notions, including conspiracies about 9/11, school shootings, the moon landings, and Elvis, but here it is.
