A lot of the singers come, perform, and go. But rare are the ones who sing with an objective. Songs like 'Blown in the wind' has made nothing less than a revolution in people's mind. And Singers like Bob Dylan are hard to fade away.

Bob Dylan, apart for being a singer, he was, and will remain one of the the greatest American singer-song writer, poet and painter who has been a popular figure in popular music for more than four decades. Now, one of Dylan's poem, which he is said to have written when he was a teenager is all set to go under hammer in New York.

The poem, which is currently under offer at Christie's, was penned in the mid-1950s for a camp newspaper in Wisconsin where Dylan spent a happy summer. The handwritten musings, titled Little Buddy, tell the sad tale of a family's pet dog beaten to death by a drunk.

The poem will be on the auction block until 23 June (09). It is expected to fetch 15,000 dollars, reports Contactmusic.
