Dear and Most Beloved Sir: I send you this, your love to stir; ’Tis you I’ve chosen first of all On whom to make my Leap Year Call; I’ve given you the foremost chance, A home for you I will enhance, Your heart and hand I ask, not in jest. And I hope you’ll grant my fond re quest, And send me back without delay, Your answer whether yea or nay, But if your hand does not incline In wedlock, clasped in pain, in mine; Then you must the leap year law ' obey And down to me five dollars pay. Besides, kind sir, a handsome dress; I ask no more, I take no less. Now you may find this missive funny But I MUST have a man or money— If you think I am a dandy, Send to me five pounds of candy. If the writer’s name you guess Send this back to her address, If for me there is no hope, Send me then five yards or rope!!!!!
