BOAT DON'T NEVER LAND, is
an expression oft heard among
the Chilluns of the tribe of Ham
back in the old days up and down
this Ole Avenue, and it was the
first time | had heard it used
since back in the old days when |
heard it as | was setten down to
my fish and beer, and in the light
or the present DAY situations when
folks lack Brothers Geo. Schuyler,
and Davis Lee are telling the
world about how much progress
the members of the tribe have
made since surrender, and how
lucky they was to have been
brought over here from them wilds
of Africa, when | heard it, instead
OF sorta Citing tickeld lack | used
to do, it didn't even draw a smirk,
in tact it made me feel kinda bad,
and afterwards / went into a long
spell Of silent thinking while my
beer flattened and my fish lost
that pleasing aroma that warmth
always gives to the fruit of Isaac
Walton. Since leaving them gooa
old days this far behind it dawned
on me somewhere along the way
that in them times the Chillun O.
the tribe of Ham actually meant
what they said, ana it reflected
an attitude and conditioning that
made us the easy victim OF any
thing that anybody outside of the
tribe of Ham care to put on US,
and all through the years since
surrender we've had to carry some
pretty heavy loads, in spite of
what says Brother Geo. Schuyler,
brother Davis Lee, ct al, loads
like here the other day when a
little girl of the tribe of Ham
was picked up by d man from
one of the mother tribes God
knows which, and subjected to
what we've been laugh to believe
Especially down her in the Old
Magnolia) is one of civilized hu-
manlty's worst crimes. What |
was thinking about as ! let my
beer tlatten, and my fish lose the
aroma Of warmth was that until
we forget how to use such ex-
pressions as | DON'T CARE IF
THE BOAT DON'T NEVER LAND
we're gonna hafta keep on
staggering and stumbling along
under them heavy loads.
WHO is THE MANNINGEST
MAN ABOUT TOWN -. hadn't
heard muffin like that in all my
meanderings up and down tie
