Analysis of Pete Busks in Town
Douglas Blair 1951 (London)
Give him some Lightfoot
Or Bob Dylan choice.
Pete has the guitar
And he has the voice.
Recognized way back
Near Walmart front door.
Lightening shoppers.
Else, all would be bore.
Putting some thoughts
In parents dear heads.
What if young Junior
Tried music instead?
Music’s adventure
That makes us agree
Bringing some fresh air
And that, joyfully.
