A King of Old Earth
BY JOHN J. DUNPHY I JULY 19, 2011

  Many inhabitants of my planet applaud the achievements of past Earthlings who excelled in science.  
  I, however, am alone in revering this Earthling, who was a giant in a field other than science.  In 
  my opinion, his influence in shaping and defining Earth civilization was no less trailblazing than 
  that of Copernicus and Einstein.

  I believe that this human's greatness will someday be recognized by others of my kind.  Until that time, 
  this extraterrestrial will pay homage to him in the company of his fellow Earthlings.


                                                                                    an alien
                                                                                    in the line to visit
                                                                                    Elvis's grave
