The Penis Poem–by Willie Nelson

My nookie days are over,
My pilot light is out.
What used to be my sex appeal,
Is now my water spout.
Time was when, on its own accord,
From my trousers it would spring.
But now I’ve got a full time job,
To find the gosh darn thing.
It used to be embarrassing,
The way it would behave.
For every single morning,
It would stand and watch me shave.
Now as old age approaches,
It sure gives me the blues.
To see it hang its little head,
And watch me tie my shoes!!

Willie Nelson Stories

The Time He Survived a Plane Crash
This according to Willie’s pal, promoter and scratch golfer Larry Trader:

“Willie was flying in to the landing strip near Happy Shahan’s Western town that they used for the Alamo movie set. Happy is watching the plane coming in, knowing Willie is on it. The plane hits a big chughole in the strip and flips over on its side and crashes. Happy likes news and publicity, you know, so first thing he does is pick up the phone and call the radio stations, the TV, the newspapers. Happy says, ‘Willie Nelson’s plane just crashed. Y’all better hurry.’

“He jumped in a Jeep and drove out to the crash to pick up the remains. And here comes Willie and his pilot, limping up the road. The media people were arriving by then. They started firing questions at Willie. How did he survive? Was he dying? Was he even hurt? Willie smiles and says, ‘Why, this was a perfect landing. I walked away from it, didn’t I?’”

The Nine-Hour Sex Marathon (with Somersault)
During the depths of his tax issues, Willie also had other problems: Namely, a $50 million lawsuit filed by a woman who alleged he promised to marry her. . .and also claimed that the two had sex for nine consecutive hours, a marathon that was consummated with a backward somersault with her still attached. Naturally, the tale quickly became the stuff of tabloid legend.

In a 1991 Rolling Stone interview, Willie’s first told his friend Kinky Friedman that it was “the only true story written about him,” though, when pressed, he hedged a bit:

“I’m not saying it didn’t happen,” he told Friedman. “It might’ve. But you would’ve thought I’d remember at least the first four or five hours.”

Where was Willie Nelson born and does he have siblings?

Willie Nelson was born in Abbott, Texas, on April 29, 1933.

His parents were Myrle Marie (née Greenhaw) and Ira Doyle Nelson.

He was named Willie by his cousin Mildred, who also chose Hugh as his middle name, in honour of her recently deceased younger brother.

His parents moved to Texas from Arkansas in 1929 to look for work.

His grandfather, William, worked as a blacksmith, while his father worked as a mechanic.

His mother left soon after he was born, and his father remarried and also moved away, leaving Willie and his sister Bobbie to be raised by their grandparents.

Willie’s grandparents taught singing back in Arkansas and introduced their grandchildren in music.

Willie’s grandfather bought him a guitar when he was aged six, and taught him a few chords, writing his first song aged seven.

Is Willie Nelson married and does he have any children?

Willie Nelson has been married four times and has seven children.

His first marriage was to Martha Matthews from 1952 to 1962, with the couple having three children together: Lana, Susie, and Willie “Billy” Hugh, Jr. – sadly the latter died by suicide in 1991.

Unfortunately Willie and Martha’s marriage was marked by violence, with Martha assaulting Willie several times, including one incident when she sewed him up in bedsheets and beat him with a broomstick.

The couple divorced in 1971, after Shirley found a bill from the maternity ward of a Houston hospital charged to Willie and Connie Koepke for the birth of Paula Carlene Nelson.

Willie married Connie the same year, and they had another daughter together, named Amy Lee Nelson.

Following a divorce in 1988, he married his current wife, Annie D’Angelo, in 1991.

Willie and Annie have two sons, Lukas Autry and Jacob Micah.
