Prized Possessions 

It’s Uncle Kevin and the tickets 

He saved from all the shows he went to 

At the Channel 

It was in Boston

It’s gone but can you remember,

Someone else’s memory?

Is that history? 

Is there a word for what we forget?

Remember All Sound Audio 

Uncle Mario was a great dancer so they say 

What about Xfinity? Or the Tweeter Center?

Called it Great Woods back in the day 

Van Played Astral Weeks at the Catacombs 

the Rolling Stones at Sir Morgans Cove 

Shows at the Rat

Scruffy the Cat 

And Pauls Mall and Alcohol 

Double lives and second wives

And not making it to 45

What songs does he listen?

To Remember

What were her favorite songs?

The songs that they danced to

At their wedding

The ones he’ll listen to now that she’d gone

And what did Lou Reed Say?

In 1968

That the Boston Tea Party

Was their favorite place to play

Dad Rock is the song that got you all singing

On the road trip back from the Cape

One Hit Wonders played over and over

The ones that you couldn’t escape

It’s how we remember

Call it history

So we don’t forget.
