nep-kats that really surprised me.
While | was settin down with my
,isn and beer and looking and lis
.sning, and learning more and
more about the things that make
Amt Haggars Chillun click, the
that l heard was dealing
with the old time folks and the
things they used to do and say to
describe their way of acting and
living. What surprised me was
that / heard a real young hep
kat saying to his pal, Man, you
alls better stop trying to make
Aun'er them ola folks and try to
git lackem, cause young as 4 Is,
Pm beginning to find out that
them Old Folks hadaa whole lotto
more sense than what US wanna
give 'em credit for having, and
while | was thinking Of Wnat Ia
neard them young nep-kats say
ing my own nlna got to floating
al ound and wound up with me do
ing some connecting over this ne,
Bible that the smart folks, fessOrs,
PHILOSOPHERS, and all them there
others have just got through get
ting out, and try to figure out
what they was up, which lead me
TO thinking of the late Reverend
Jasper, of Sun-Do- Move fame and
his ways and words of EXPLAINING
what the Good Book says, and /
wondered if them folks what done
all that re-ranging, and putting in
and taking out was able to make
the Good Book as plain for them
that believe as did the late Rev
Ell end Brother Jasper who have
challenged the veracity of the
school teachers and scholars by
proclaiming that the Sun-do-movc,
on the words of Joshua, who COM
manded the sun to stand still, ac-
cording to the Good Book, went
on to challenge those who theorize
that the world is round by point
ing to where the Good Book says
there was an angel at one time
setting down and resting on each
of the four-corners of the earth
and then proving" that the world
amt round by holding up ball
and saying, who ever is been able
to find four corners on round
ball Yes, sir, from the way /
figured it out, these hyar young
kats is done got really "hep" but
for my money, they gotta long
way to go to ketch-up with Jasper,
Grandma -. and them Old Timers.
