From the McKenzie manuscripts, Summer 1961;
first transcribed by Chris C. in "Isis", No. 45, Oct-Nov 1992.

I'll take you to the poster show and boy I'll hold your hand,
I'll show up at this years parties, let your face hide in your fan.
I'll listen to your troubles and **** **** **** **** ****
But cut that martyr out of your head.

NOTE: According to Chris C. (in "Isis", No. 45, Oct-Nov 1992), there's a total of four handwritten verses; all others being illegible.
