help from thinking about what
Grandma used to say when Amt
Haggar's Chillun everywhere start
talking about cooking a pot of
black-eyed peas and hog jowl and
putting a silver dollar in the pot,
and going outdoors New Years
night and looking up at the moon
and making a wish, and if there
amt no moon, jest look up and
make a wish. | was eating my
fish and drinking my beer in my
favorte spot and two of Amt Hag-
CARS Chillun, talking about max
ing their wish over the pot of
black-eyed peas, hog-jowl and sill
YER dollar, had both decided that
they was gonna make wish for
a Cattle-lack Car, and as most of
the good sense of my Grandma's
philosophy has only been revealed
to me since | reached the age of
responsibility, which has been a
good while now, | got more vivid
picture of what Grandma was talk
ing about when she used to say
to me success in life don't come
from "luck" it comes from "pluck'
and l thought long time
bitter / heard the two brothers
of-the- blood talking about the wish
that they was gonna make, and
| took a good look at EN- and Won
dered why they had to put their
wish. $50 high up on the hog
even if you felt like conlceding
them some knowledge of that
'hitch your wagon to a star" think
ing that used to furnish the urge
for every youthful ambition {.
with all the other things that Amt
Haggar's Chillun need most | was
led to wonder how long is it gonna
be before the members O-the-
Tribe will be able to tell the diff
ference in value from what they
want" and what they "need"
as | could figure out myself a
lotta other things them two Broth
ers could ask the Lord and "luck"
for what folks needs long time
before they needs "Cattle-lack"
Car but whether it's a Cat
tle-lack Car, a house Of your own,
with a bath tub and a good bed to
sleep in, or something else that
you gonna cook your black-eyed
peas and wish for when you
making your wish remember
what my Grandma said sue
CESS IN LIFE DON'T COME
FROM LUCK 1T COMES
FROM PLUCK.
