Dear Lee Chin
[writing changes from red pen to pink marker]
My pen ran out! We have no school today! At the Springfield late show tonight is “Help” and “Let It Be.” I asked Billy if he would take us, he said “Maybe.” I pray to God we can go. I want to see those so bad! The other day, Martha and I wrote a song. It’s called “One Time” and it consists of eleven words: “One time I cried ‘cause mama said it was the end.” But that’s more than “Wild Honey Pie.”
Note the diary’s first mention of God, as someone who might help Mary get to see some Beatles movies. Also note those awesome lyrics. Perhaps one of our talented readers can put those lyrics to music?…
oh, wow! that [unwritten] song is going to be stuck in my head for the rest of my life. unfortunately, the only tune i can put it to at the moment is “last night i dreamt that somebody loved me,” by the smiths.
