Busted In a Bus

Poor country singer Willie Nelson -- Taxman took his ranch and when he was done, Willie had only his touring bus, Where he lived and smoked weed till the final bust. *Entry for PD’s Clerihew 2 Contest Note: If you want a big laugh, check out the song “I’ll Never Smoke Weed with Willie Again” on youtube ; 0

I like this one especially the 'weed' part: weed can heal a disturbed mind sometimes

I'm assuming this is true Carolyn, KInd of a sad end for a country and western legend. I liked the old guy and enjoyed his music. Hope you are getting well, think of you often. Luv, Lizzie

Yep! Willie always sounded as though the weed was a gittin to him. My Brother Bill, after divorcing his second wife, lived in his car for a year and a half - cooked canned food on the manifold on the way to wherever he would park for the night. Love this poem. You too. I'm back, at least for a few minutes each day, and will try to catch up on comments. Love, daver
