一份两页手写诗的原稿日前在Christie拍卖行进行拍卖，该诗作者的名字是Bobby Zimmerman，或者在摇滚名人堂里被称为Bob Dylan。这份手写诗歌“Little Buddy”是年轻的Dylan在50年代中期创作的，而令人吃惊的是当时的Dylan仅是个年轻人，却写出如此有影响力的作品。Dylan手中的Zimmerman蓝色钢笔讲述了一个心爱的小狗因友善的对待一个醉汉而被打死的悲伤故事，诗歌中的主角等待着医生到来救小狗的性命，但不幸的是医生却来的太迟。
故事是令人心碎的，但值得注意到有趣现象是，即使是年轻的Dylan也不能避免误用your作为you’re的语法错误，写道“Your too late sir my doggy’s dead.”（艺术家的选择？）“Little Buddy”的全诗如下：
Little Buddy
Broken hearted and so sad
Big blue eyes all covered with tears
Was a picture of sorrow to see
Kneeling close to the side
Of his pal and only pride
A little lad, these words he told me
He was such a lovely doggy
And to me he was such fun
But today as we played by the way
A drunken man got mad at him
Because he barked in joy
He beat him and he’s dying here today
Will you call the doctor please
And tell him if he comes right now
He’ll save my precious doggy here he lay
Then he left the fluffy head
But his little dog was dead
Just a shiver and he slowly passed away
He didn’t know his dog had died
So I told him as he cried
Come with me son we’ll get that doctor right away
But when I returned
He had his little pal upon his knee
And the teardrops, they were blinding his big blue eyes
Your too late sir my doggy’s dead
And no one can save him now
But I’ll meet my precious buddy up in the sky
By a tiny narrow grave
Where the willows sadly wave
Are the words so clear you’re sure to find
Little Buddy Rest In Peace
God Will Watch You Thru The Years
Cause I Told You In My Dreams That You
Were Mine
Bobby Zimmerman
