These John Lennon handwritten lyrics and original hand drawing were written in black ink on sa heet from a sketch pad. During the spring of 1968, the four Beatles and their wives were students of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in Rishikesh, India, where they also wrote songs that eventually were recorded for The Beatles (aka "The White Album"). One of John Lennon's songs left unrecorded and unpublished was titled "Subtle Woffel," the first verse of which is included on this sketch on the bottom left: "beneath the deep Ambrosia tree/the Subtle Woffell lies/and he will sing to comfort thee/under the purple skies." The figure lounging under the tree in the sketch is the Subtle Woffell, who has an eye-rolling expression on his face and nine fingers on his right hand. Pen and ink on paper, 11.75 x 9. Very good condition. Comes with a Gotta Have Rock & Roll™ Certificate of Authenticity.
