Elvis Costello

Elvis Costello.

Royal Tan The National winner
Declan Patrick McManus a beginner.
Fifty four the year born
Paddington London his first yawn.

His father a musician too
with Joe Loss and crew.
Singer and trumpeter
Declan would do a little better.

With Stiff Records a name change
Elvis Costello a creative exchange.
A solo career he began
an able and confident man.

Less Than Zero a reasonable start
on a subject close to his heart.
An anti fascist put down thing
recognition it would bring.

Advisor on humanitarian schemes
still trying to realize his dreams.
Works for the US jazz foundation
not looking for acclamation.
