TO KELLY MILLER, JR. by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR

First Line: DEAR KELLY, WHEN I WAS A KID
Last Line: COS, KELLY M --, I BETS ON YOU.

Dear Kelly, when I was a kid
I wrote this book: that's what I did.
When you grown up -- I may be dead --
You allus think o' what I said,
Dat you gon' mek yo' ma'k fu' true,
Cos, Kelly M --, I bets on you.
