A poem penned by John Lennon has been discovered after 64 years. John told the story of an unemployed boy named Tom who was 'black and dirty' and looking for work. The poem was penned during the band's Hamburg residency in 1961.
The poem was removed from an A5 notebook he kept in the Hamburg flat of German photographer Astrid Kirchherr, who was a friend of the band.
It reads in black ink:
'One time upon a tom a little negro who had lost his mother was looking for a job.
'Maybe I will be a shoe shine boy - says the negro who was black and dirty.
'But no - unluckily as luck would have it he could not a job find.
'No job for a n****r.'
Kirchherr gifted the poem to another source and it then passed into the hands of a collector, who is selling it via Julien's Auctions, of Los Angeles, US.
The 6.5ins by 8.5ins piece of paper containing the poem is tipped to sell for £15,000 ($20,000).
The sale of the poem takes place on May 30.
