i wish they still made a VCR

ran across an old VHS the other day    
you know how the sight of an object can remind of a fragrance?    
he smelled like old spice and 90 weight gear oil    
sam adams and a shitty factory in syracuse    
ever once in a while    
when i pull the change and cigarette butts out of my pocket    
reach down to take the dog's collar off    
 i think i catch a whiff      
the ol lady got jokes    
 asks me sometimes if i'm wearing the same blue jeans    
and boots chewed a bit by a puppy?    
as you with a guitar next to your snap on box in a gettin kinda yellowish pic from nineteen seventy something    
that's my most prized posession    
     
i think about you a lot pop    
like when i drink too much and cry watchin pit bulls and parolees    
when i have to yell at one of the guys    
for usin my personal tools without askin    
and especially not wiping em down after    
     
remember that one time    
you and uncle guy,    
and uncle steve went lobster fishing off long island    
yall made that video with the camcorder that still took tapes    
kept pullin in these lil red buggers    
you kept sayin    
"we're gonna need a bigger boat"  
that was funny ol man   
you guys drank ten cases of beer between three of ya    
don't know how you made it home    
but it's nothin but right    
good to try to have a good time before you die
