Road Escape

It was a hot and summer day A man tells his wife he will be back in an hour However he has been traveling on a Greyhound bus for 4 hours The man told his wife he was going to the store for a smoke Oh what a joke The man got on a Greyhound bus that was heading west I was also on that same bus so I can confess The man got on the bus in a small Texas town Yet he was riding all night being westward bound I listened as he told his story He said it proudly being his glory You probably could call this story, “When you can’t stand stress, escape on behalf of us” Just take the bus to avoid the fuss Well I don’t really know his true story, as there are two sides to every story He only stated she was a nag and he just couldn’t take it anymore It was simply the Greyhound bus awaits and he must not be late The man’s idea for a cigarette and a Greyhound ride to let me forget But I firmly believe that somewhere he would regret As the story ends, the man made it too the west in what his inner soul that says it best “Escape with me having a peace of mind, and refreshing soothe with everything combined”.
