My Pappy’s Victrola

Are you really giving me shit

about where to put

my pappy’s Victrola?

That was my pappy’s

Victrola, it’s got

Jimmie Rodgers

and Mother Maybelle

scorched into the walnut.

That was my pappy’s

Victrola

and everything else,

all this other stuff

can go in the fucking street.
