he Writer's Cramp prompt for March 9, 2017 is "On this day in 1950, the Iconic VW Bus went into production. Write a story or poem about a couple and their dog named Blue traveling around the country in a VW Bus."

My wife, myself, and our dog Blue
Went traveling in our VW
It was an old 1960 bus
We took care of it and had no fuss.

It was covered with flowers from stem to stern
No power steering and hard to turn
The poor thing didn't corner well
But on the straight away you could do swell.

The spare tire led the way
I remember it as if it was yesterday
We went to the Grand Canyon a sight to see
Woodstock though was the place to be!

Winding roads both near and far
The old yellow bus was not a car
The fuzz pulled us off the road
He said I swayed so lighten the load.

Blue barked and the policeman scowled
Blue got mad and then he growled
Up against the van I went
A night in jail was all I spent.

My VW bus waited through the night
It was stolen oh what a fright
When they brought her back to me
The rest of the country we were off to see!
