Her Elvis Presley lamp It sits on our nightstand and seems to be looking at me as I turn off the light. There it is when I open my eyes in the morning, an Elvis Presley lamp, which belongs to my wife, Phyllis. She has Elvis candles, books, coins, stamps, hats, dolls, a watch and even a lock of his hair. But this lamp is one of her most prized possessions. I think this is the ugliest lamp I ever saw. Her cousin, Billy Cook, found this unique lamp at a yard sale, and knowing her love for Elvis, he bought it immediately. Billy made her day when he gave it to her. She invites visitors to our house to see it. She even lugged this monstrosity to work. I think she showed it to her co-workers whether they wanted to see it or not. Maybe Elvis fans envy her, but not me. I heard her tell someone on the phone that she was washing Elvis’ hair. When I looked she was lovingly rubbing a damp cloth over the lamp’s head. I believe I am destined to face this lamp the rest of my life. Lucky me. Donald Grant, Statesville | EnergyUnited |
