Elvis Presley handwrote this poem and initialed it in blue ballpoint pen on his personal stationery titled “From the home of….Elvis Presley”. The yellow stationery measures 5” x 5.25”. This is a poem that Elvis would recite often on stage and in his personal life, called “Ode to a Robin.” He even used it on his home phone message machine recording. He wrote the poem down for several people and this one was given to his very good friend Charlie Hodge in the 1970’s. Hodge, a member of Elvis' "Memphis Mafia", met Elvis in the army and lived for 16 years in a converted apartment at Graceland. Comes with signed letter from Hodge on his personally stationery dated December 12, 1993. Estimate: $4,000 - $5,000.
